Default Babe Ruth photo?

Could this photo be of babe Ruth? I don’t have it in hand, but ran across it. I want to believe it is, but certain features make me believe otherwise!

Any experts in here that could share their opinions? Measures 2.5” x 3.5”.

Thanks!

Thought face looked similar, but that’s about where it ends. I have no real knowledge of his early years. Just that he went to Mount St. Mary’s. This is not that jersey, but didn’t know if he barnstormed during those days at all.

No kidding! Just thought I’d lean on a place I know has extensive knowledge. Sorry to inconvenience you.

never hurts to ask that is what we are her for.

But I agree it does not look anything like Ruth

So the Poster of this thread listed just the photo as Babe Ruth...


...and it sold?????


Got a feeling buyer will be returning, or the buyer is a moron.

We'll see if feedback gets left, both ways.

Nobody in their right mind would bid on that thinking it was Babe Ruth. What a scumbag move to advertise it as such though.

That is so not Babe Ruth. The OP was uniformly advised as such yet he put it on eBay and was able to troll a sucker. Not cool at all.
