EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "RUTH & PERSHING, 1924" we are transported back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth, standing tall and proud in his military uniform, saluting the esteemed military leader John J. Pershing. It was taken in 1924 when Ruth was serving in the New York National Guard's 104th Field Artillery. The sepia-toned photograph beautifully captures the essence of early 20th-century America, with two iconic figures symbolizing different aspects of American culture - sports and military service. Babe Ruth, known for his incredible athletic prowess on the baseball field, demonstrates his respect and admiration for General Pershing as he offers a crisp salute. This image serves as a reminder that even larger-than-life athletes like Babe Ruth were willing to put their careers on hold to serve their country when duty called. It highlights the patriotism and dedication shown by men like Ruth who stepped up to defend America during times of need. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical snapshot for us to appreciate today, reminding us of an era where heroes could be found both on the battlefield and within our beloved national pastime.
