“Styling With Some Sweet Kicks”- MLB Fans Fawn Over Vintage Photo of New York Yankees Legend Babe Ruth 75 Years Later

Babe Ruth is one of the most celebrated names in baseball and was a legendary player during his time. He is widely considered the first real two-way player in MLB history and was the first to excel at both batting and pitching. Many iconic pictures of Ruth can be found all over the place from his career.

There aren’t as many pictures from after his retirement and his life away from baseball. But a rare photo that has resurfaced after many years shows Babe Ruth and a glimpse into his life after baseball.
