Batting from the mound

Something that I hadn't noticed until recently is this Schapira card of Babe Ruth. Since this set was issued in 1921, he had already transitioned to a full-time outfielder and had a couple of great batting seasons under his belt. They decided to include this pitching pose in the set, but added a bat to make it seem like he was dropping the bat after a swing.
