Sounds about right. It very well could have been there... -
They're all great but I really like the one with Foxx and Mack in the dugout. The colourized one is fantastic. I've never seen one before. Are there more in the thread?"I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it."

Hey Guys, Nice Sweaters! - 1920's
Great pic of Babe and a young fella wearing what appears to be matching sweaters (team issued I'd guess). So is the kid the son of a player/owner? The head of a Babe Ruth fan club or a bat boy? I'm digging around to find out more...Comment

Nice shot and I might add, one of the first pics I've seen where the Bam looks to be in better condition than the kid.Originally posted by BSmile View PostComment

Found this in one of my Babe files. Babe Ruth Sweater For Boys.
The only info I have on this, at auction in 2005, final bid was for 1454.00Comment

That actually narrows down the details quite a bit!Originally posted by SHOELESSJOE3 View Post
So the pic was for Babe's clothing line, the kid was probably just a model (husky build to emulate a young Babe no doubt).

My wife says those two guys in the dugout photo are definitely Filipino, and since she's Filipina, I have to take her word for it.Originally posted by BSmile View Post"I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning.

Another great pic of Babe during his time coaching 1st base for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938. This shot should be considered a companion to my recent post #1806: Headin' Out For Coaching Duty. It was taken during the same game, if not moments apart from each other.Comment

Some of the thoughts that the Babe gathers are: "Let ME be manager and let Durocher be first base coach.Wonder if I have enough time to go get another batch of hot dogs?Wow!Get a load of that redhead behind third base!Last edited by Nimrod; 12-11-2011, 09:20 AM.Comment

Babe Signs His Own Book - 1948
The book Babe is signing is a copy of the then newly published, "The Babe Ruth Story", authored by Bob Considine. So who is the gentleman that is holding the book? Hard to say for sure. It looks a bit like Bob Considine, but most of the pics I've seen show him looking a bit more worn in the face this guy (Here he is in LIFE, 1945). It might be somebody involved in the making of the movie of the same name, as I think this pic was a publicity shot taken on-set.Last edited by BSmile; 12-13-2011, 06:06 AM.Comment
