Artwork of Babe Ruth’s Called Shot
Description
A color slide of a painting depicting Babe Ruth pointing his baseball bat toward the outfield in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series at Wrigley Field. Ruth is standing in the left-handed batter's box and is looking toward the third base dugout. A nondescript catcher is squatting behind home plate with his back and left side visible. In the left foreground, a group of fans heckles Ruth. An unknown man, wearing a suit jacket, stands and raises both hands. His face is visible in profile, and he appears to be heckling. Another fan, wearing a fedora, sits behind him and holds a piece of paper in his right hand. In the far bottom right corner, part of a man's face is seen; he appears to be laughing. Information on the physical slide reads, "called shot painting" See ruthba01_180, ruthba01_239, and ruthba01_269.
