Babe Ruth Pictures (some RARE ones!)

Bsmile,
Great photos, I really like when Babe interacts with kids. The two above with him and the Japanese little league team and signing autographs a group of young fans are just terrific.
Those photos show the other half of Babe's career and what he did for baseball, "Outside the chalk lines".

Babe must have visited hundreds of hospitals and orphanages to cheer kids up. It's kind of hard to reconcile it with him not being the best possible dad for Dorothy, but the big guy had a big heart.

Yeah, that's quite a complicated situation...one that Claire made even more difficult.

The Babe Can Bag Other Than Homers
76 Years Ago Today - November 11, 1937
ACME: "The Babe posed for the photographers on return from a Nova Scotia hunting trip with these deer just to show the sporting world that he is just as handy with a rifle as he is with the willow. He and two companions docked in New York (Nov.11) aboard the S.S. New York and the Bambino immediately started pointing for his exhibition golf match with John Montague, whose mystery shots and acquittal on a robbery charge skyrocketed him to fame."

Babe & The Mysterious Montague
76 Years Ago Today - November 12, 1937

...the Bambino immediately started pointing for his exhibition golf match with John Montague, whose mystery shots and acquittal on a robbery charge skyrocketed him to fame.

Here's The Babe and John Montague getting ready for a practice round the next day at the Fresh Meadow Golf Course in Flushing, L.I.
The original wire caption reads: "John Montague (left), Hollywood golf wizard, and Babe Ruth, former king of the baseball sluggers, are pictured at the Fresh Meadow Country Club, Bayside, L.I., N.Y., Nov. 12th, as they practiced on the course for their charity golf match, which is to be staged Nov. 14th."

As Montague Was About To Be Unveiled
76 Years Ago Today - November 14, 1937

I just read up a bit on Montague in an online Smithsonian article and it was VERY interesting! Never heard of him before.
Guess he was pretty much washed up as a golfer by the time he played the Babes.
