The Babe still sells, Cordes Junction, Arizona, 2011

Baseball’s legendary Babe Ruth retired in 1935, yet 75 years later, his faded visage still pitches Red Rock Cola for a nickel a bottle. I found this old sign on the porch of the Cordes Junction general store, a nostalgic reminder of a simpler time. I give the rectangular sign a jolt of energy by tilting the camera to create a diagonal composition. The diagonal plays against the round baseball and the round moon-face of Ruth within it.

You were shooting this store with us a few years ago, Iris. How come we both missed The Babe?

A great find for an avid baseball fan.
