Photo From Babe's First Spring
 

great article gary! Here's a photo I used to own from babe's fayetteville days....

Thanks willowGrove, The Babe is one of my favorite characters, especially since I took a year off and toured with a traveling Babe Ruth exhibit. Meeting many people that actually met him really made me appreciate him as a person instead of the cartoon character he became - not that the 2 were that far apart! That picture you posted of the Orioles in Fayetteville is just a great team shot, so unposed and loose, it really brings out the fun in the game.

A couple more popular poses

I can't believe that nobody has posted a scan of their Baltimore News Ruth card yet........

I'm just having a hard time trying to decide whether I want to post my blue or red Baltimore News Ruth...
