It is one of the most iconic sports photos ever shot. On June 13, 1948, baseball legend Babe Ruth had his number retired at Yankee Stadium - the "House" that he built. The photographer responsible for the Pulitzer Prize-winning shot - Nat Fein - hand-wrote "The Babe Bows Out No 3 is returned, June 13, 1948" and signed the bottom right. The photo measures 9.5x12" and total measurement is 15x18".
