Babe Ruth Red Sox
This historic portrait from 1919 shows a young Babe Ruth wearing his Boston Red Sox uniform, just before one of the most legendary turning points in baseball history. At this time, Ruth was both a dominant left-handed pitcher and a rising power hitter, helping lead the Red Sox to multiple World Series titles.
By the end of the year, Ruth would be sold to the New York Yankees, sparking the infamous "Curse of the Bambino"—a drought that kept Boston from winning another World Series for 86 years.
This photograph captures Ruth on the verge of superstardom, still rooted in Boston, yet about to revolutionize the game of baseball and American sports culture forever.
