Encapsulated and certified as a Type I Original News Service Photograph by PSA/DNA. This captivating "reverse copy print" (as specified in an editorial notation on the photo's back) attributed to the Chicago Daily Times summarizes the excitement of Ruth's storied "Called Shot." Observing the scene are Ruth's fellow future Hall of Famers Lou Gehrig, Gabby Hartnett and umpire Bill Klem. A block of printed text is attached to the back of the photo, which also carries the notation, "10-1-32." Goldin Auctions will be donating 5% of the winning bid price of this lot and all lots in this auction to the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum.
