A family friend has asked for my assistance in identifying a 4.5" x 6.5" B&W photograph of Babe Ruth. It is an original photograph, and written in pencil on the back: Photo by Fritz Kraft, 10-22-33. "He just hit a homer as I clicked the Kodak". From what I can tell, Fritz Kraft was a 'souvenir photo' photographer based in Hawaii, and his work can be found all over the web.
The date corresponds with the 1933 exhibition baseball games in Hawaii with Babe Ruth en route to Japan.
What I am interested in, is finding more information about the circumstances of the photograph. Do box scores of the exhibition exist? If so, did Babe Ruth hit a home run on 10-22-1933? Any help the group can provide will be greatly appreciated! I have searched and had no luck in finding this kind of info.
Obviously, another question is value - and I know the more information you can have about an item and background the more it could help the value.
Thanks -
Joel
