Thank you. Yeah.. that chubby little dude rules. It looks like a scene from the little rascals or bad news bears. I just love how all the kids are different and pretty much frame Ruth. Early images of Ruth with groups of kids are tough. You mostly see him while he is retired.. not in uniform. This one is in his prime with a giants jersey cuz players were unable to wear their own on the off season. I guess there are ways around that.. just throw on another jersey..haha..silliness. I just love that these kids are from a orphanage like Ruth and all of different ages/sizes…very happy to own it!

Any chance the fat kid is "Fatty Joe Cobb" of the early Little Rascals? It would fit the time frame and the Los Angeles location of the photo too I think. It looks a LOT like him but just a guess. Rhys |

I don't think it is him as it is not mentioned in the slug or any other place this image is online I think it is just another chubby feller. But I am no ear, nose and ect specialist so I could be wrong.

Couple of nice ol' pics:
1) Feb 1912 outside the left field wall of the old Huntington Ave. Grounds - Fenway would open two months later 2) 1908 Harvard basketball team - any basketball memorabilia from this era is so hard to find! |

I like the '41 team photo - I've had this ball signed by the '41 Dodgers for a while and it sure would display nicely with a photo like that!

Man, how could you not love the Babe. He always put the kids first. Wish he didn't have to go through what he did as a child in an orphanage, but seems like it had a hugely positive impact on his life.

Ruth Photo
Ben:
That Ruth photo is great. I see a lot of photos and that one is among the best Ruth photos I have ever seen. Congratulations |

Thank you. The one with kids or the one of the Japan tour in 34? The reason I ask is people love individual Photos for different reasons and always wondering what others appreciate.
