Medal events in baseball are taking place this week at the Tokyo Olympics. In honor of this, we dug into our archive to find this image of one of the most famous baseball players in history — George Herman "Babe" Ruth. The Baltimore native is pictured here playing for the New York Yankees at the old Oriole Park in 1931. We are wishing all Marylanders competing in the Olympics this year good luck in representing #TeamUSA in Tokyo. Image: Babe Ruth at bat, old Oriole Park, photograph by Robert Kniesche, c.1931.
