(LOT 90)
1927 Yankee Outfielders incl. Babe Ruth, Earl Combs & Bob Meusel - PSA Type I Encapsulated Underwood & Underwood Photo – Measures 8" x 10"

This classic Underwood & Underwood 1927 image portrays the three New York Yankee outfielders that played an integral role in leading the Yanks to a World Series title! Donning their classic "Pinstripe" Yankee home uniforms, from left to right the players include Earl Combs, Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, with each player holding their vintage lumber over their right shoulders. The sparkling eye appeal is ably assisted by unimprovable contrast and clarity, with the only notable surface blemish being a light diagonal print line near the lower right edge that appears to have been part of the original negative. The verso reveals the renowned Underwood & Underwood caption that clearly implies this image was taken directly after the Yankees won the American League pennant.

Indeed, that remarkable 1927 Yankee club would claim first place on opening day and hold that top position for the entire season, winning an astounding 110 games against only 44 loses before easily sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Fall Classic. Led by the "Sultan of Swat's" record-breaking 60 dingers and the remaining slugging exploits of "Murderer's Row", this squad was ultimately chosen by many historians as the greatest team to ever grace a baseball field. A steadfast reminder of how the immortal Ruth, Combs and Meusel wreaked havoc on American League hurlers, this awe-inspiring keepsake highlights these three legendary sluggers, with the incomparable Bambino unquestionably residing as baseball's greatest all-time player! – PSA Type I Encapsulation
