Chapter 01 · The discovery
A photo never seen before by baseball historians.
Storm Glenn acquired the damaged team photograph at an estate sale and began investigating the player circled and labeled “Ruth.”
The original artifact
The player marked “Ruth.”
The seated player at lower right is circled and identified in ink. Glenn’s investigation asks whether this is a previously unknown photograph of Babe Ruth at approximately fifteen or sixteen years old.
It is unknown who added the names “Ruth” and “Bob.”
The photograph’s damage makes the inquiry more difficult, but it also preserves the marks that launched the research.
