Description

George Herman “Babe” Ruth re-energized baseball in the 1920s by virtue of his immense talent and ebullient personality. His image appeared on the covers of dozens of magazines; perhaps the most graphically pleasing is this 1935 portrait by J.F. Kernan of the “Sultan of Swat” on Capper’s Farmer.
