Summary

Description
English: In 1918, Babe Ruth started to make his move more from an a pitcher to more an everyday batter. 1918 was the first year Ruth led the league in home runs. This is an interesting early photo of young trim Ruth batting, an image that I believe was used by the U.S. Post Office as a commemorative stamp of Ruth.
Date Some time in 1918
Source 'The Image of Their Greatness, authored by Lawrence Ritter and Donald Hong, published by Crown Publishers in 1979.
