Babe Ruth and the Dodgers question
 

I was doing some research and saw that Babe Ruth was a base coach for the Dodgers in 1937 (I think that was the year). I am sure there are no "official" cards of Babe in a Dodger uniform, but does anybody know of any pictures that might exist with Babe in a Dodgers uniform. Also I wonder if base coaches even wore the teams uniforms like todays base coaches do.

His Dodgers uniform was sold last November by SCP Auctions. I think the listing had some photos if you can dig it up.

It was actually 1938 when he coached the Dodgers. And there are photos of him in a Brooklyn uniform.

I'm and idiot. I just Googled it and there was tons of pictures. Thanks for the help guys.

Here's a photo of Ruth with three of his Dodger teammates ... the patch on Kiki Cuyler's says 1939, but it's definitely the 1938 patch that all players wore that year ...

Boy, He sure looks happy to be out of the Bronx!

Here is one with (I think) Hartnett...this is from a post card given out at a baseball card show in New York City, in 1978.

That's his old teammate, Tony Lazzeri.

Not pre-war but....
 

He is featured as a Dodgers base coach on the 1962 Topps #142 card.

Maybe someone can post a nice copy of one for you, as I am presently scan posting challenged.
