Frank Hardy Made My Photographs Two

Back in the late 1950’s, a Babe Ruth baseball team from Pensacola won the national Babe Ruth Baseball Championship.  It was a real honor for a small town baseball team to beat out all of the other teams from all of the fifty states.  Mrs. Babe Ruth came to Pensacola to present the winning team a trophy and while she was here, she took in a Dons’ baseball game.  My father made a photo of her with the team.  I also recently ran across a news clipping in the local paper about her coming to Pensacola and I also found a nice looking drawing of the “Babe” that I am including.

If any one was in attendance at any of the festivities, please let us hear from you.  The drawing of Babe Ruth and the news clipping are courtesy of my good friend, Rusty Bizzell.  His uncle , who is in the newspaper clipping, was the coach of the Babe Ruth team that won.  Thanks for looking and please check back … Frank
