(LOT 630)
1920's Babe Ruth & Miller Huggins Original Type 1 Pacific & Atlantic Photo - Measures Approx. 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" - PSA Type I LOA

Presented here is a 1920's photo portraying the incomparable Babe Ruth shaking hands with his legendary field general Miller Huggins in a candid spring training moment. Dubbed a Type I photo by PSA, his 6-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pacific Atlantic image has miraculously managed to retain a majority of its original quality, defying nearly a century of potential wear.

It serves as a staunch reminder of how these two baseball "giants" led the iconic New York Yankees to 5 pennants and 3 world championships in the 1920's, with Babe Ruth turning the baseball world upside down via his record breaking home run totals, some of which testing the farthest confines of any ballpark.

While Huggins is donning his full pinstripe uniform, Ruth appears more leisurely, sporting his workout white sweatshirt and going "cap less" as he leans on his colossal lumber. A neat memento from the Yankees heralded 1920's decade, it would make a fine addition to any serious vintage Yankee photo gathering!
