Babe Ruth "Swinging" Original Glass Plate Negative Used for 1948 Hall of Fame Exhibit
Vintage one of a kind, from the camera glass plate negative captures Babe Ruth following through on his majestic swing. Measures 4x5" and looks to have been taken at Chicago's Comiskey Park; a little hard to discern from Babe's gaze skyward, but it appears that this was more likely a pop-up than one of his prodigious 714 homers. Still a tremendous look at arguably the greatest legend in baseball history. Slight discoloration at one corner and edges along with minor image loss to one edge; yet George Herman Ruth is crystal clear in all his glory. This image was used for Ruth's 1948 Hall of Fame exhibit card.
