(LOT 152)
c.1930's Babe Ruth Gives Admiring Kids Hitting Instruction – PSA Type 1 Encapsulated Photo – Measures Approx. 8" x 10" (Includes PSA Type 1 LOA & Christy Walsh LOA)

Who better to give a group of young admiring Babe Ruth worshipers batting instruction than the incomparable "Sultan of Swat"! Indeed, this magnificent offering portrays the "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 1920's and early 1930's via his record-breaking home run exploits. Other than some light scattered wrinkles, no glaring blemishes are evident, with the only noticeable flaws being some paper "rippling" primarily along the upper border. Obscure to say the least, this superb heirloom represents another infinite-like example of Babe Ruth's unparalleled propensity to utterly 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 to teach these enthusiastic young boys the proper batting techniques than the unparalleled George Herman "Babe" Ruth! This Photo comes with a PSA/DNA LOA and a Christy Walsh LOA.
