Dan. It could very well be Joe in that photo but it doesn't mean he met the Babe. Take a look at that crowd! Also, Joe was always a very private person not wishing to share his personal life with hardly anyone.
Williams was proud to tell all that the Babe was his Idol and that his goal in life was to be noted as "the best hitter there ever was."
But Joe D was a quiet leader, more like Gehrig. And you can't possibly argue with TEN World Series in 13 seasons...and winning NINE. Joe never had to tell people how good he was,
everyone simply understood it.
