When Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb came to San Jose

About 100 years ago, legendary baseball players such as Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb came to San Jose to play at Soldality Park. Here are some pictures from the San Jose Museum that I colorized using DeOldify.

Three thousand baseball fans, old and young, watched Babe Ruth pull an old bat up and down, knock the dust off his shoes at Sodality Park in San Jose, California in 1927.
