This original newsphoto depicts the Bambino watching a game with batboys during the Tour. The information on the paper glued to the back indicates that the photo was taken at Koshien Stadium in Osaka in a game against the All Japan Team. The date of 12/14 accompanies this information. However, the only game played between the U.S. team and the All Japan team at Koshien occurred on 11/24. The Americans won by a score of 15-3 behind Earl Whitehill.

Size: 9 1/4" x 6 7/8"

Condition: Would be Near Mint, but some of the edges of images on the photo have been inked in to enhance the image, most likely for future use as a wirephoto.
