Babe Ruth and Ban Johnson- Apr. 12, 1922

Where do you find all these remarkable photos? I especially like the 9th one where Babe is kneeling beside the little girl. Looks like the 1921 uniform and Babe looks fit and trim.

Jackie42 is our in-house photo researcher who scours the Internet and finds excellent pictures with a very discerning eye.

It's always a joy to see the end result shown here. :)

Thank you both.

So long as yourself, Dodger Deb and others are around, Brooklyn will always be fondly remembered here, Jackie42! Truly the Borough of Kings. :)

ARTHUR:
Each evening, from December to December,
Before you drift to sleep upon your cot,
Think back on all the tales that you remember
Of Camelot.
Ask ev'ry person if he's heard the story,
And tell it strong and clear if he has not,
That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
Called Camelot.
Camelot! Camelot!
Now say it out with pride and joy!

TOM:
Camelot! Camelot!

ARTHUR:
Yes, Camelot, my boy!
Where once it never rained till after sundown,
By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown...
Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one brief shining moment that was known
As Camelot.

"Movie still from the 1927 silent film Babe Comes Home. The scene features Ruth signing his first professional contract with Baltimore as the characters of Jack Dunn and Ned Hanlon look on".

"first All-Star Game took place in 1933 at Comiskey Park and was held in conjunction with the city's Century of Progress Exposition. Intended to be a one-time event, the game proved so popular that it quickly became an annual institution. Appropriately enough, the game's first home run came off the bat of Babe Ruth, with his two-run blast in the third inning providing the go ahead runs in an eventual 4-2 American League victory. A photo capturing Ruth and two of his American League teammates posing together prior to the start of that historic 1933 contest. Ruth is pictured standing on-field with Al Simmons of the White Sox and Charlie Gehringer of the Tigers". 7/6/33

Nice pics you got here! Hope you can still send more rare pictures of the Babe! Keep it up! By the way, do you have pics of the Babe as a player in St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys? If you have or if you found one, can you please post it here. Will appreciate it much.

[Joltin' Joe]

Excellent photos Jackie42!!

Babe was a very dapper fella' indeed! He always was well dressed in public. I can appreciate that. Out of today's athletes, Michael Jordan is like that too. Like Ruth, when he is out in public, he is dressed to the nines in the finest thread.

[Yankeebiscuitfan]

These seem to be the bowling ball and shoes of the Babe.

I believe those are on display at the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.

Yep! I got them from the site of the HOF.

I never knew Ruth wrote right handed!!!!!

I thought about this for a while. I realized that Ruth was brought up in an orphanage. He probably was forced to use his right hand to write because using the left hand was the sign of the devil

[KCGHOST]

What a fabulous set of photos!! Who would of thought of Babe Ruth, Boy Scout!!

There's an excellent book called something like "Babe; A Life in Words and Pictures" that features many of these photos. I recommend it highly. Many, many wonderful pictures of Babe visiting orphanages, barnstorming, horsing around...also a few very frank photos with his first wife that Ruth probably would have torn up if he had the chance.

Nice poem. Is that Yankee Stadium? Looks like it.

That may not have to do with being raised in an orphanage. My father, born 46 years after Ruth and not raised in an orphanage, also was a lefty made to switch to writing etc. with his right hand.

Who's the guy in this pic with Ruth?
I never knew Ruth wrote right handed!!!!!
A friend of mine, who's very knowledgeable about the Yankee players from eras ago, said that each of Ruth and Gehrig were victims of childhood "correction", meaning though they were lefties, they wrote and therefore signed right-handed.

Eh Matt... Dodger Deb will get angry when she reads this. :D

Look at the Schaeffer score board. It is Ebbets Field.

I was half-blind when I asked that. Either that or some silly other excuse. None of those bridge-like things, but the radio towered things which did look amazingly like what I'd seen of Ebbets Field. Then the link itself said Ebbets.

Oh well, I'll have to delete some of my posts sometime.

Thanks for the great photos Jackie42 - I'm looking for any information you might be able to tell me about this particular photo - I've been trying to track it down for awhile and this is the first place I've seen it. Do you have any other information on it - where did you find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There is the movie info site.

JACKIE42 doesn't come around here much any more.

So I thought I would try to help you out on that one. Which I could not find much on it.

[Nordfish]

Thanks for the info. That's about all I could find on it too. Apparently the film was destroyed in a fire sometime around 1929 and I've had a hard time tracking down stills from the movie. I've seen a couple at sports auctions but I've never seen this one.

if i remember correct jackie42 stopped coming here after getting into an arguement with someone

Long subject that I don't believe needs to be rehashed here. Send me a PM if you'd like, but personally, I'd rather not go there.

Thanks. :)

Just a note; not sure if this is the picture or not.... but Babe had amazing patience and focus when he had a goal. Something one wouldn't expect from his personality. In Georgia one time, he stalked a wild turkey for about seven hours before getting close enough to shoot. He finally got a good clean shot and nailed it off a tree with one shot.
