From the auction description:

"Hoping to improve the Babe's on-field performance with the threat of fines for behavior unbecoming the game's highest paid superstar, Yankees team owner Jake Ruppert was reportedly told by Ruth, "I'll promise to go easier on drinking and to get to bed earlier, but not for you, fifty thousand dollars, or two-hundred and fifty thousand dollars will I give up women. They're too much fun." Engaging here in the other great National Pastime, a dapper slugger poses with some pretty starlets meeting him upon his arrival in Los Angeles to begin filming "The Babe Comes Home.""

The first photo is of Nolan Ryan vintage signed 1968 snapshot of him signing for a young fan outside Shea Stadium 1968. Thanks again Jimmy C. for giving this one up in 2010!

The second photo is a snapshot of Ryan exiting Tiger Stadium after his 17 strikeout 2nd no-hitter on 7/15/73.

Two-ton and the Babe,

Babe and buddies embarking on their legendary Tour of Japan. Poignant and somewhat eerie shot, as Moe Berg is the only person looking directly into the camera. Perhaps an early look into his "higher consciousness" during this particular excursion...
