Default Could This Photograph be Babe Ruth?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Forget Aristotle....listen to this Greek......

And, forget the "horses mouth"....it's in the ears. The ears in this picture resemble Ruth's very closely.

I may be the Lone Ranger here....but, I still maintain that this is Ruth (circa 1910). Most recall Ruth as
a heavy 200+ lb. guy. But, as an older teenager his 6:2 frame weighed only 172 lbs.


Barry......is there a photo studio identification on the back ? We have similar family pictures from that
era and the studios are identified.

Also, that ornate frame is (if original) is typical of that era.
