Early 1920s Babe Ruth & Bob Meusel, possibly by Culver Service, glass plate negative. The massive grandstands of the Polo Grounds rise up behind this pinstriped duo as they pose shaking hands for a news photographer. This shot was taken in 1922 upon the duos' 6 week suspension for barnstorming in the off-season.  Image measures 5x4" and comes in original protective envelope; slight image loss at edges as is common with this type of negative, but the central figures are clear and untouched, in EX condition.
