Default Could This Photograph be Babe Ruth?

Posted By: Richard L.

I have gone back and forth and am stuck in the middle. If you compare to the photo Dan Bretta posted as a young catcher at St. Mary's (which was also used by Topps in 1962) my eyes tell me the nose is close, flat and wide. The rugged chin looks to be a near perfect match. The lips however don't seem to match, Ruth had huge lips in that catcher's mitt/mask photo but doesn't look that way in the original post. Barry I think you are a little off on the age, by 20 he was already pitching for the Sox, but then again he is wearing "red sox" in the picture happy.gif. The owner should open the frame just to see if an ID notation is mentioned.
