1918 Photo with Babe Ruth & Joe Jackson OR is it NOT?

Thanks, Todd,
I only wanted it for the unique and fascinating photo of the Babe
Since even the newspaper wasn't able to print an image of the team makes me believe there aren't that many photos out there

Great pick up Craig, the main reason I was interested in the photograph was because it was an early Ruth photo. I still do believe that it is Joe Jackson unfortunately I have no way to prove it and I think you got a great deal

Nice pick up of a early Babe Ruth. Its a interesting photograph with lots of history. Are you matting and framing this historic image?

I have an original photograph of this image that is hand inked "1918 Bethlehem Steel Base Ball Team Lebanon Plant" that does not have the players identified however I have recently come across a nearly identical image that has the players noted on the image "Lebanon Club 1918" From Left to Right Standing - Agnew, Schultz, Ruth, Stroud, Walsh, Bobbington, Clauser, Murphy, Plitt, Pratt - Nealing from Left to Right - Hale, Jones, Kelchner, Boys name not listed, Stowe, Potteiger and Trout.
