Babe Ruth joins his Yankee band of brothers in this set of 13 photos, all with paper captions and from 1932. Ruth has returned just that day (9-16-32) from his "illness" (alchoholism?). He is joined by Gomez, Chapman, Jorgens, Hoag, Moore, MacFayden, Byrd, Farrell, Devens, Brown, Saltzgaver and Murphy, and all are dated 1932. Plus Joe Glenn by William C. Greene, 1925 Earl Combs, and the BEST Joe McCarthy you have ever seen (1937). All of the 16 photos here are from the Christie's Auction of the groundbreaking publication "Baseball Magazine" arranged by the late Don Flanagan, with their holograms on the backs attesting to this.
