Babe Ruth Bats in Boston
Description
A black-and-white photograph of Babe Ruth in action during a game at Fenway Park in Boston. Ruth wears a New York Yankees away uniform. He is at bat in the left-handed batter's box, poised to hit, and the ball appears in the photo just next to his right elbow. His head is turned away from the camera and toward the pitcher's mound, and the letters "RK" are visible on his uniform. An unidentified catcher crouches behind the plate. An unidentified umpire, his hands clasped behind his back, stands behind the catcher. On the far right edge of the photo, an unidentified pitcher follows through on the mound. An unidentified infielder is in the center background, and signs are visible on the outfield wall.
