I do realize how deep the the fence is in left center and center but I'm not judging the oufielder's positions relative to the fence.
I'm looking where they are, the distance from the infield.

This is the photo I referenced the other day originally posted by Sultan - St. Ann's Home, Tacoma, Washington post # 192 on Babe Ruth Thread. It's my favorite of Ruth and the kids. Does anyone have the complete photo without the crease in the middle? If so, would you kindly post it? As I remember the cherub with the hat on in the front row was holding a piece of paper. We all know that Ruth didn't have to do this and he no doubt would occasionally find these events exasperating, but he did it! Just look at those faces. I sometimes think the best thing about Ruth was his heart.

Yeah sorry, that was a scan job, had to do one side at a time.
Pretty sure Bill once posted a bigger (and one piece) shot. I'll get it.
Crap, I was thinking of the one right above that. Then no, I haven't seen a full one. Might need to holla to BSmile for this one.Last edited by Sultan_1895-1948; 06-13-2014, 03:53 PM.

Thanks Sultan. I know I've seen a more complete photo of this somewhere on Fever, I just can't remember where. I did a Google and found out that it was also printed in the book "Babe Ruth: A Daughter's Portrait" by Julia Ruth Stevens. Maybe BSmile has it?

Possible BSmile have a larger pic with better definition when enlarged more.
Went to Google Books and found the book it appeared in. But only text, photos blocked outAttached FilesLast edited by SHOELESSJOE3; 06-13-2014, 05:42 PM.

That was when I first got the scanner. I can make it bigger, raise the dpi and edit it to make it appear seamless. Badge, you just want this for a personal pic?

Thanks ever so much Shoeless and Sultan, much appreciated. By the way I went by the Menger Hotel here in San Antonio and saw a great photo of Ruth when he played in a game at League Park here in 1930. Not surprisingly, he homered in his first bat. His first visit was in 1922 when he also homered. The great panoramic photographer E. O. Goldbeck took that great photo of the Yankees during the '22 visit. I'm sure you guys have seen it. Ruth is in the middle. To his left is Home Run Baker. You can also see Carl Mays (the pitch that killed) in that photo holding a ball. Miller Huggins is extreme left. Check it out.
