Scarce most images of Babe Ruth depict the slugger with a bat in his hands, comparatively few show him with a glove. This photo was snapped at Yankees spring training in St. Petersburg in 1929. Ruth habitually warmed up at first base throughout his career, and ideally, this photo shows the Babe with a first baseman’s mitt. This beautiful full-size, uncropped Type 1 image with all four borders measures 8.5” x 6.5.” The reverse of the photo has a March 21, 1929, date stamp, original caption slug, and various catalog notations. A scarce fielding image of Ruth. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
