Babe Ruth tracks the flight of another Ruthian blast while posing for photographers prior to the 1932 World Series. Tremendous original news service photo includes large paper caption dated to 09/17/32; just two short weeks prior to Ruth's famous "called shot" at Wrigley Field in Game 3 of the 1932 Fall Classic. Impressively clean photo measures 7" x 9" with light wear to the bottom corners. Verso includes large credit stamping from the Associated Press beneath full paper caption still affixed along the bottom edge. Fresh to the hobby example is one of three Babe Ruth photos in this auction hailing from the same day and chronicling Ruth's return to the Yankees following a bout of appendicitis. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
