This footage of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig is believed to have been shot in Iowa on Oct. 18, 1927, not long after the Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates to win the 1927 World Series. Ruth and Gehrig are in their barnstorming team uniforms in which they played post-season exhibitions across the country.
