There has never been a more intimidating pose in baseball history than that of Babe Ruth just after completing his titanic swing, likely sending one of his 714 career jacks soaring into the right field seats. Captured in this original Type I photo by Wm. C. Greene, the Babe models the pose that sent many pitchers to early retirement. Stamped on the back "Photo by Wm. C. Greene", there are other indicators that show this photo had been used for publication in 1989 and again in 1994. The photo exhibits some typical scratches and marks from age when viewed on an angle, but appears very fresh when viewed directly. A must-have for the true blue Yankee fan!
