Rare 1922 first generation original photograph featuring Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby. The photo was taken in spring training before the 1922 season in which Hornsby would win baseball's elusive Triple Crown Award with 42 HR's, 152 RBI and a .401 BA. The photo measures 5x7 inches and has small pieces missing from the lightly worn margins. The actual image area remains in EX/MT condition and is visually appealing. The reverse has several Culver Archives stampings, vestiges from a reference sticker and a vintage stamped caption that reads "Rogers Hornsby (St. Louis) Babe Ruth (Yankees) in the south - Apr 7, 1922." This photo originally sold at auction in November of 2005 and has since been beautifully matted. We've included the original sale information.Truly unique Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby relic.
