Unique vintage matte-finish 6.75 x 8.5 photo of Ruth, dressed in a jacket and tie, posing outdoors with his wife Claire, teammate Lyn Lary and his wife Mary, signed in fountain pen, “Babe Ruth,” and also signed by Lyn and Mary Lawlor Lary. Matted and framed to an overall size of 17.5 x 19.5. In fine condition, with a trivial stain to left edge and a hint of light silvering.
This photo from the early 1930s features Ruth with Yankees shortstop Lyn Lary and both of their wives. Ruth and Lary played together on the Yankees from 1929-1933 with Lary acting as the starting shortstop in 1930 and again in 1931, when he set the team record for RBIs by a shortstop with 107. During this period, the Yankees arch rival wasn't the basement-dwelling Red Sox but rather the Philadelphia Athletics who won the American League pennant from 1929–31. The Yankees returned to form in 1932 finishing thirteen games ahead of the Athletics and going on to sweep the Chicago Cubs in the World Series. It would be Ruth's seventh and final World Series Championship and the only one for Lary. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
