When Babe Ruth came to town, the children followed. After my parents passed away, this photo was found among the personal items they left behind. My father Pete Miksich (to the right just above the Pirates kid) played baseball for the East Chicago Kiwanis Club. Born in 1911, he looks to be about 12 or 13. This photo was taken in June, 1925. George Herman Ruth loved children. Being an orphan, He took every opportunity to be with them. This photo may have come from a newsletter put out by the Grasselli Chemical Co. (Later E.I. Dupont), which had a chemical plant in East Chicago, Indiana. My dad worked there till his retirement.
