Thanks Scotty. I've had this one for about ten years now, and I never get tired of it.

That's so cool Al! Good eye on that one. Well, at least you saved a scan of it.

This one came from the Christy Walsh Family. I do believe that this image was used for one of Babe's cards from the 1920s.

Great photos & neat thread idea. I didn't think there would be so many examples. Here are a couple more, circa 1918-19. Sorry for the big scans.

WoW! Those photos are tremendous, Jeremy! What other photos are you sitting on?

From the Christy Walsh Family comes this 1925 vintage original photo of the famous/infamous "Bellyache heard 'round the World"

What other ballplayer would give the kid a trophy from a hospital bed? It looks like he was still in pain too.

You're absolutely right, Randall! When I posted this photo a couple years ago, I mention something similar. The difference in their expressions are priceless. Word was of course, that the Babe had the Clap.
