Fantastic original news service photo of Babe Ruth batting at Yankee Stadium prior to the 1932 World Series. capless Ruth has just followed through on his swing during what appears to be a sunny fall day at "The House That Ruth Built." Included paper caption on verso is dated 09/17/32; almost exactly two weeks prior to Ruth's famous "called shot" during Game 3 of the Fall Classic on October 2. Photo measures 6" x 8" and remains free of significant condition-related issues to report. A full paper caption has been affixed to verso displaying large credit stamping from Acme and a smaller stamp from NEA. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
