Agreed, on both counts, Scott.

I've seen a lot of Ruth photos over the years, but this thread is showing me there's clearly a lot more I have not seen. And that brings a smile to my face, though I don't know which photos I like more: the baseball shots, or the candid shots of the Bambino as Santa, or with a bunch of kids.

The picture of the Babe standing over Lou Gehrig's open casket is one of the most powerful images I've ever seen. As I moved through Ben's second group of photos/checks, it caught me completely off guard.
