More than 75,000 fans were on hand when Babe Ruth drove the ball into "Ruthville" during an exhibition with his old-time rival Walter Johnson during a Washington/New York doubleheader on August 23, 1942. From that most memorable day comes both of these two Type 1 wire photos. Includes "Ruth Saluting the Crowd" (6.5x8.5") and "Ruth at the Bat" (6.5x8.5").
