Lot # 2032: Babe Ruth Signed Photograph - JSA

Photo of Babe Ruth as a member of the New York Yankees, inscribed in black fountain pen: "To/Patricia Simmons/From/Babe Ruth." Both the inscription and signature are boldly penned. The image itself is also appealing and pictures Ruth in full swing while taking batting practice on the field. In the background, one can see a number of photographers, as well as a Yankee player, as they attempt to capture the moment on film. This particular photo was obviously to Ruth's liking, as he often used it when providing autographs to his fans. The photo (8 x 10 inches) displays heavy creasing and four tack holes along the borders. In Poor condition. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
