Lots of lefties on the 1915 Red Sox, enough to give us odds against Ruth by numbers alone. These guys all batted more often than Ruth that year and were seasoned, in their mid-late 20s. Photographers might single out everyday players like Hooper and Speaker in particular for a World Series photo.

Group photo from the same day with Hooper and Speaker. You might need to judge by the uniform bunching at the knees. :-)

In the leaning toward camp, but just not enough at this time for me to stake my reputation on it. I would be digging through pictures to try to establish more proof.

I am leaning toward it being Babe. It looks like about 72% of members felt that way or think it is him.
. and a card.... (since this full on kiss was pointed out, I look at this card kind of weirdly now LOL)

Also in the yes it’s Babe camp, wonder how many lefty’s there were at the time on NYY, maybe could narrow it down based on player size/stature.
