Babe Ruth Pictures (some RARE ones!)

[locke40]

Peerless "Babe" hangs up new world's record. "Babe" Ruth is seen making a new record with his third home run in one day in the recent double header between the Yanks and Senators

George Sisler, Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb

Great resolution on those pic's Locke40! Geez, The Babe sure was forced to take a lot of pic's with Ty Cobb! Haha....and once again, Ty Cobb: Happy as hell! Go figure. Here's an animated GIF that I made from a pair of stereoscopic pictures of Babe at spring training. Also, an animated GIF that I made of the 1935 Boston Braves (with Ruth of course). Funny thing about this GIF, I recently discovered that I had 2 pictures of the '35 Braves. At first glance they looked the same (I was going to delete one)...but when I looked more closely, I could see that they were in fact taken mere milliseconds apart. So, I looped them together (after some tweaking/resizing). Makes for a pretty cool 3-D image of the team.

And finally.....

Hahaha, some of those short films were priceless. I won't be able to daydream durring class without thinking of the Babe showing up and getting me out of a boring lecture. Also, I think in "speedy" at around 3:09/3:10 you can see Lou Gehrig walking and looking into the drivers side window.

[locke40]

How great is Youtube?? This is my favorite video, the Babe just playing baseball. You can get a great sense of the game at 2:05, with the crowd standing up after the ball is hit; it is very similar to when a player really gets into one nowadays, and the crowd rises to its' feet!!

The Babe signed autographs with his RIGHT hand.

[BSmile]

Haha. Actually, just two pic's...once again, taken moments apart and I looped them into into an animated GIF. Also some musical Babe pic's:

- A young Babe at the organ with his first wife. Not sure the exact year.

- Babe on the tuba with the St.Mary's Band in 1920.

- Babe sings along with some of the Brooklyn Dodgers 1938.

Cheers! ~B

BSmile,
LOVE the color photos! Here are a few that I found.

Babe Ruth & Jack Bentley in Giants uniforms for exhibition game; Jack Dunn in middle. October 1923.

Is there any way someone can finagle it so the Babe's appearing in a Mets uniform?????

[Gary Dunaier]

Here's Babe Ruth's rookie card... a 1914 Baltimore News issue showing him as a pitcher with the Baltimore Orioles of the International League.



It sold for over $150,000 at auction in 2006. For more information on the background of this card click here.

Dance Babe, Dance!!

[BSmile]

I thought that I'd share the biggest and best picture of the 1927 Yankees that I've ever come across. (It's 2696 x 2100). I didn't make this picture any bigger btw....I left it the size that I found it in. That's The Babe, 5th from the left in the back row.

Cheers! ~B

What a great picture ! Thanks for leaving it large. The kids standing in the isle, (just above Babe's head), each are holding a book. They must be waiting for the photographer to finish so they can get some autographs.

A Raleigh Cigarette Ad from 1945 featuring The Babe.
It's amazing how ignorant people were of the dangers of smoking back in the day. This ad is beyond ironic.
