Brilliant glass plate negative circa 1920s displays a nice close-up of the batting grip of Babe Ruth. Though his prominent visage isn't visible, the important part of this 4.75x4" negative is the focus on the hand positions that launched 714 career home runs. Wonderful and informative image of the Sultan of Swat, dating from his time as the key threat in the New York Yankees feared Murderers Row.
