The ultimate image: Babe Ruth having hit a Yankee Stadium home run with Lou Gehrig congratulating him at home plate as the Yankee dugout is visible with electricity while infirm batboy Eddie Bennet balances his crooked body on Ruth's mighty bat. Except this is Game 3 of the 1927 World Series and the stakes are far greater than usual - every step is a leap into history. Original "ACME" inpainting gives this great character and specificity. Has a tiny chip in one corner, and partial paper caption on verso. Measures 8" x 10".
