Iconic 1948 TYPE 1 Pulitzer Prize Winning Photograph by Nat Fein - "Babe Bows Out"
It has some condition issues as there is a lot of crazing and a sharp paper clip crease on the bottom edge, that does NOT break through.  All in all, I'm thrilled beyond belief. In something as important as this photo is, content trumps condition every single time!
I never dreamed that I would have been fortunate enough to acquire the four Ruth photos that I have in the last few months. Someone's watching over me...

Nice Jimmy!! That's Bob Feller's bat that Babe is carrying on to the field. BTW, that bat is on display at the Bob Feller museum in Van Meter, IA if you ever want to visit it....
