Time to post more pictures of The Great Bambino

In 1998, New York Magazine took this picture and superimposed (somewhat badly) Derek Jeter and David Wells over the other two players and stuck it on the cover. I have to say this is the first time I'm seeing the original. That looks like Rolfe on the left; who's the guy on the right with the big ears?

[George H. Ruth]

The guy on the right is Don Heffner. I remember seeing that picture on the Magazine, I just shook my head in disgust, just because it was poorly done.

That's definitely Urban.

You should label some of these, Babe, if you get around to it.

Just splendid photos. Thanks very much. I loved seeing the old-timers, including that fierce-swinging Honus Wagner. And also it was great to see, in his inimitable stance, His Eminence, Stanley (Cardinal) Musial.

I know this isn't a picture of Babe Ruth, but there was just a statue of him put up on ebay. Really neat one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Babe-Ruth-Ne...item2a1aaabf89
