Babe Ruth Swinging 1921 Rear Image
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Babe Ruth dated 1921. Ruth twists his body to his right as he swings a baseball bat, making his back visible. He is wearing the home pinstripe uniform of the 1921 New York Yankees. Four bats lie in the background, and no other players are visible, which indicates he may be swinging as he waits for his turn at bat. The blurry background shows fans sitting in the grandstand. Information written on the physical slide reads, "1921" See ruthba01_304.
