Though not as famous as Nat Fein's "Babe Bows Out" image which shows Ruth before thousands of fans in Yankee Stadium for his final appearance at Yankee Stadium, this photograph taken later that day captures the Bambino as he removes his cleats for the last time. The Babe’s locker, which is now on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, makes a great backdrop for this poignant image by official Yankees team photographer David Blumenthal. The look of wistful remembrance on the dying star’s face has made this image almost as well-known and reproduced as Nat Fein’s. This is a rare TYPE 2 example that was made by Blumenthal off his original negative in the 1980's and signed by him on the right border in gold ink reading: "OFFICIAL PHOTO BY David Blumenthal" Measuring 8” x 9 ¾”, it shows beautiful clarity and contrast with all four borders. The has the David Blumenthal credit stamp. Encapsulated Type II by PSA/DNA.
