Default Ruth Berra Photo

This was posted in a Facebook group. Picture is stated as having been taken in 1947. I had never seen it before so thought I would share it here.

That's a great photo, before the Babe got real sick. I wish the Yankees would go back to the simple flannel style road jerseys without all the goofy background for the lettering and without the trim. Those old school jerseys look great.

It's funny, the first time I saw that image last week, it was a forward from a Facebook group where it was used as a meme to show the similarity between it and Michael Scott's handshake where he looks completely emasculated.

Babe Ruth was quite sick when this photo was taken with Yogi. January 1947, Babe was diagnosed with throat cancer. According to the website Getty Images:

“ Larry "Yogi" Berra of the Yankees is seen here shaking hands with former Yankee legend Babe Ruth on Babe Ruth Day at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis.”

According to Yogi’s Grand-daughter Lindsey ( via Twitter)

“This pic is actually from Babe Ruth Day on June 19, 1948 at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. Everyone thinks it's from #Yankees Stadium in 1947, but note that Gramp has no pinstripes. Babe would pass away two months later, on August 16th.
