I know there are a lot of Senator fans here and I came across this photo as I was researching something having to do with Ruth and thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing it.

How does Bluege not get the tag down on Ruth?

Also note Ruth's terrible sliding technique, hands should be up, not down.
