Description
ONE OF A KIND Large & In Charge Babe Ruth 30" x 26" Framed Photograph that Hung in Yankee Stadium. Additionally accompanied with (Family) 2020 LOA signed my Mark Michael ALONG WITH framed photo of a dapper Roger Marris standing just below this framed Ruth while inside Old Yankee Stadium. YANKEE STADIUM IS KNOWN AS THE HOUSE THAT RUTH BUILT. This exact image graced the walls of "Old" Yankee Stadium sometime after 1923 until 1973. 19 World Series Titles brought home to the "Capitol of the World" by such names as Ruth, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Mantle, Yogi, Marris along with many other greats. Decades of continued prominent dominance created consequential popularity fabricating the need for stadium upgrades which took place in 1973. Among the multitude of improvements and additions, one noteworthy deduction would be this OVERSIZED BABE RUTH ACTION POSE Framed Photo. This Attractive Action Shot is singled out with a hand painted gray background. Elegant and Iconic black and white photograph of THE BABE HIMSELF, post swing. The very swing that earned him the title of Sultan of Swat and connecting for 714 home runs; The KING until 1974 – many years after the Babes death. Image is 20 x 40 & mounted on a thin wood backing. This beloved image left Yankee possession and was purchased by Gene "the stick" Michael who was a player turned coach, turned scout and turned manager; credited for the Yankee rebuild creating the 1990s dynasty farming players such as Jeter, Pettitte, ONeil, Williams & Posada. Family COA comes from Mark Michael, Gene’s son and is included. This likeness is still showcased the SAME as it did when it graced the holy walls of "Old" Yankee Stadium, featured in the same black wood frame and still showing the screw holes placed on the frame during its tenure. Frame is perfectly accented with silver plate nametag centralized along the bottom edge along with the original Old Yankee Stadium Screw Holes. From an orphanage to the HOME RUN KING making more than the President of the United States!! Truly a one of a kind display piece from arguably one of the most iconic baseball venues in baseball history. Please use photos to judge condition and bid accordingly.
Note: Increased shipping cost due to size/weight.
