Default Babe Ruth "Holding Bird"

Posted By: Steve

E121 Ruth,


Anyone know the significance of this pose?

I was initially thinking... He helped the tired bronx fowl on the field and is giving the thing a lift. Then, A peace symbol and this photo was shot in tribute for the end of WWI. But since the war ended in November 1918. Again, I've changed course.

My current WAG; In the old days, carrier pigeons were used to send (game) photos off to press and this peep was about to fly off with a photo of Babe slamming one out or simply a highlight report. The other little fellow looks "Reporter".

(There is a bird box on the ground)


Thanks to BCM
