If there is one stand-out iconic photograph from of the millions taken of Babe Ruth, this spectacular batting shot is the one that first comes to mind. The Babe, resplendent in his home white pinstripes, is captured in the follow through motion of his flawless swing. Yankee Stadium can be seen just behind him and the shot has been printed in rich sepia tones. It's a shot that's used whenever a single image of Babe Ruth is needed and the pose is as recognizable as his face - it just says "this is Babe Ruth".

The best part of this gorgeous photograph is that The Babe himself has signed it in strong black fountain pen, as smooth and flawless as his swing. To call his signature a 10/10 would be an understatement as it simply pops off this well-preserved piece. Condition of the 8x10 print is very good with a small nick present on the right side white edge. This does not affect the image or signature in the least, and when matted and framed will not be seen at all. With the coupling of this well-known photograph and the beautiful signature, this is perhaps THE quintessential Babe Ruth autographed photo. Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA, who have graded this signature a perfect 10. Psa has stated that there are indications of a personalization removal, but still graded this incredible signature an image a perfect '10'.
