(LOT 290)
c.1930s Babe Ruth Gives Admiring Kids Hitting Instruction – Original PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Photo – Measures Approx. 8" x 10"

BAMBINO TEACHES KIDS!!!... Who better than to give a group of young admiring Babe Ruth worshipers batting instruction than the incomparable Sultan of Swat? Indeed, this magnificent offering portrays the great Bambino dressed in formal attire and holding a classic piece of lumber as he demonstrates a swinging pose for five obviously star struck fans. It is no secret that Ruth absolutely adored children, and this sensational image captures one of those enthralling moments in time for these captivated boys who are likewise holding period-style bats of their own. Measuring approximately 8" x 10", this seemingly timeless offering reveals brilliant clarity and stellar contrast as The Babe leans slightly forward to show his enchanted audience how to roll your hands through the swing.

All five boys look extremely focused with each one intently listening to the man that rocked the baseball world throughout the 1920s and early 1930s via his record-breaking home run exploits. Other than some light scattered wrinkles, no obtrusive blemishes are evident, with the only noticeable flaws being some non-obtrusive paper rippling primarily along the upper border. Obscure to say the least, this superb heirloom represents another definitive example of Babe Ruth's unparalleled propensity to please his adoring fan base, with the Bambino thriving on fulfilling the dreams of his seemingly countless number of passionate followers. Furthermore, it stands as a sheer reminder that professional baseball truly consists of a talented group of adults playing a kids' game, and who better than to teach these enthusiastic young boys the proper batting techniques than the unparalleled George Herman "Babe" Ruth!
