Could This Photograph be Babe Ruth?

Posted By: barrysloate

I first apologize for not putting this on the memorabilia side, but photos often end up here.

A good friend sent me this snapshot and asked me to post it. It does have a glare from his camera. However, do others think this is Babe Ruth? I'm looking for reasons to say it isn't, but every time I look at it I see the Babe. He looks incredibly young, perhaps 19 or 20. It is also handcolored. I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know too much more about it. Size is roughly 5" x 3 1/2". Thoughts?
