Original photograph capturing New York Yankees manager Miller Huggins posing with his Hall of Fame slugger Babe Ruth in the dugout at the Polo Grounds in 1921. Encapsulated and certified as an original Type 1 photograph by PSA/DNA. The original paper news caption remains affixed to the reverse, along with a date stamp that reads "Oct 3 - 1921." The two Yankee legends are pictured with child actor Wesley Barry, who was in town during his filming of the movie School Days in 1921. That year also marked the first pennant in New York Yankees franchise history. The photo (10 x 8 inches) displays a number of obvious condition flaws, including heavy creasing, small edge tears, and a tack hole at the top. In Poor condition overall.
