Babe Ruth exuded a larger-than-life personality both on and off the field. In this original Underwood & Underwood photo, Ruth is pictured in his full Yankees road uniform with a military member. Ruth appears to be explaining something on the barrel of his bat as the service member looks on. There is a raised stamping of "FILE COPY DO NOT REMOVE" on the front (reads upside down) indicating this was an important press photo. Comes encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
