Babe Ruth and Wilbert Robinson
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Babe Ruth standing next to Wilbert Robinson. This photograph was taken before a game between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Robins during their spring training series. The game is at Ebbets Field, and the weather is cold. Robinson, standing to the left of Ruth, is wearing a dark coat and a light hat with a dark stripe around it. He is also wearing glasses. Ruth wears a non-descript, dark sweater over his uniform and a Yankees ballcap. They are standing in front of a dugout, staring slightly to the left of the camera. Fans can be seen in the grandstand directly behind them. See ruthba01_358
