Babe Ruth Poses with His Left Arm in a Sling
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Babe Ruth, seen posing with his left arm in a sling and his right hand holding a cigar. Ruth is wearing a dark suit and tie, with an Irish cap on his head. He is staring off slightly to the left of the camera. He appears to be standing in front of the New York Yankees dugout, with an unidentified Yankee player's left arm and leg showing. This player is wearing a home Yankee uniform. This photograph is at the Polo Grounds in New York, on October 11, 1921. Ruth is not in uniform because he injured his left forearm sliding into third base during Game 2 of the World Series. Information written on the physical slide reads "c. 1921"
