Babe Ruth Swings Away
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photo of Babe Ruth in action in a game against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Ruth is wearing a New York Yankees road uniform and hat. The photo is taken from behind home plate, and Ruth is following through on his swing. His back is to the camera, with his left foot bent and toes planted in the dirt so you can see his cleats. He holds the bat with both hands so it points horizontally to his right. To his left, an unidentified catcher crouches behind the plate. An unknown home plate umpire stands behind the catcher, and the umpire holds his hands behind his back at the waist. To the far right, and unidentified pitcher follows through on the mound. The head and right shoulder of an unknown infielder is visible to the right of Ruth's head. The stadium wall can be seen in the backgrounds. There are signs for cake and coffee on the wall.
