Help me choose my Kreindler subject from raffle #2 (and a long overdue intro)

[T20Brew]

It's tough but I think I have it down to less than a handful of photos. There are so many great photos out there. I'll try and post the final few in the next few days. I have my family coming to our house this weekend. My father passed the collecting gene to me so I'm going to get his input also since he'd enjoy it also.

In the meantime feel free to post other photos. I can definitely be swayed at this point. 😃

Eric,
If you give us the name of the last three, maybe we can add to those subjects.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose Babe Ruth as the subject. There are a few shots that I really like of him so far. If anyone finds a really cool one please feel free to share it. I'd love to see them.

eric,
Here is my last posting. Good choice. Babe Ruth.
I have a story about Babe, told to me by a good friend named Mike. The story is about Mike's father.
His father grew up in Detroit close to then, Bennett field. He used to go down to the games and stand outside the fence that surrounded the parking lot that the players would keep their cars. There, they could catch a glimpse of the players on their way out.
On this day, the Yankees were in town, and they (Mike,s father and a friend) wanted to get a look at the Babe. Sure enough the game ended, and their wait was rewarded. Out came the Babe. The Babe noticed the two boys and walked up to the fence, asking the boys, "did you see the game"? They shook their heads no, the Babe then bellowed, "Come on with me". He walked the 2 youths around the fence, and into the stadium, and soon found themselves on the outfield grass by the warning track. The Babe walked and talked with them from foul pole to foul pole. Mike's father always said that it was one of the most memorable moments in his youth. I was fortunate to know Mike's father, one of the most respected Commanding police Officers on the Department.
In my eyes, there can't be enough paintings to pay respect to Babe Ruth.

That's a great story. I've always looked at Babe Ruth at the biggest sports star of all time. Some will argue Jordan or Ali, but for me it's Ruth.

Alright, I've made my choice. I was all ready to send Graig a photo and he came in with one I had not seen before. I think it has a lot of character and can't wait to see how Graig brings it to life.

Nice choice! I love Graig's paintings that have a dugout in the background.

Nice! Cool expression by Ruth, and those bats are going to look sweet in color.
