Babe Ruth Swings Away
Description
A slide of a black-and-white action photo of Babe Ruth swinging in a game at Fenway Park in Boston. The picture is taken from behind home plate. Ruth is in the center and wears a New York Yankees road uniform. He has taken a swing, and his shoulders and back face the camera. Following through with his swing, he holds the bat with both hands and it points horizontally to the right. His left leg is slightly bent, with his left toes planted in the ground so his cleats are visible. To Ruth's left, an unidentified catcher crouches behind the plate. In the far left, an unidentified umpire stands behind and partially obscures the catcher. To the far right, an unknown pitcher follows through on his throw. Part of an unidentified infielder can be seen in the background just to the right of Ruth's head. The left-field wall, with signs for coffee and cake, can be seen in the background.
