Let's see your Photos of Ballplayers with Kids...
 

Mark's post in the June pick-up thread led me to start this thread. Be it photos, magazines, or any old thing that shows players with kids... Let's see what ya got!

Good to see Mark giving such a good home to the Gehrig with Christy Walsh Jr. photo.

This vintage original c. 1937 photograph was taken at the New York Times Photo Studio as part of an advertising campaign for the short lived Huskies Cereal. This photo also came directly from the Christy Walsh Family.

I have many but this is my favorite.

Players with kids
 

Johnny Vander Meer demonstrating the pitching technique that he used to pitch consecutive no-hitters in 1938 to the locals in his hometown Midland Park, NJ. This photo was taken at his parents farm immediately following the second no-hitter on June 15, 1938.

A photo of my father Jim Garner, HOF Hank Greenberg and Nick Altrock at Briggs Stadium circa 1938. This photo ran in The Detroit News and was taken by my namesake, Scotty McGregor who was a photographer for the paper for many years.

Here's mine.
 

I'll start with aforementioned Gehrig with Christy Walsh's son. (Thanks Jimmy! It does have a good home now.)

Awesome photo Brandon. This is a terrific thread Jimmy.
Thanks for starting this one! :)

Some really great photos, Guys! Here is an original c. 1927 vintage snapshot
of the Bambino signing what was sure to be, a young fan's most precious keepsake, for the rest of his life!

C'mon Jimmy, that snapper is sick! I haven't seen that before. Wow!! :eek:

A little imagination here for the player but I always loved this picture, I missed out on this about 8 years ago on ebay but if you look close you will see a nice Babe Ruth Scorer Fob hanging from the kids belt.

Thanks Scotty. I've had this one for about ten years now, and I never get tired of it. :)

That's so cool Al! Good eye on that one. Well, at least you saved a scan of it.

This one came from the Christy Walsh Family. I do believe that this image was used for one of Babe's cards from the 1920s.

The Old Professor
 

Casey according to the caption as "A Lady Pleaser" in 1965.

Great photos & neat thread idea. I didn't think there would be so many examples. Here are a couple more, circa 1918-19. Sorry for the big scans.

WoW! :eek: Those photos are tremendous, Jeremy! What other photos are you sitting on? ;)

From the Christy Walsh Family comes this 1925 vintage original photo of the famous/infamous "Bellyache heard 'round the World"

What other ballplayer would give the kid a trophy from a hospital bed? It looks like he was still in pain too.

You're absolutely right, Randall! When I posted this photo a couple years ago, I mention something similar. The difference in their expressions are priceless. Word was of course, that the Babe had the Clap. :eek:

LOL yeah I had heard that. I only recently heard that his adopted daughter was probably his actual daughter from another woman. Supposedly when he brought the baby home he also brought a "nurse" who was the real mother. I think I read that his family even admits that.

LOVE this Pic
 

Ty Cobb showing disabled children how to grip a bat. This is a neat image!

Thanks Jimmy. That "bellyache" shot is great. The Babe looks less than thrilled to say the least.

Say what you want about him, he likes kids...

WoW Albert! I agree with you. I love that photo too! Is that a snapshot? And what are the dimensions?

My best, Jimmy

Here's one. Two Baseball Legends having their photo taken with some 19 year old kid.

I forgot this bigger one was inside the magazine.

One more of Ruth its in the museum next to Camden Yards. They have it blown up very large.

Just picked this up. Also posted in the pickup thread..

Jim,

Photo measures 6.5" x 8.5"

Bobby Doerr...........
 

that's me on the right.... the kid holding onto his baseball cards.
my brother is on the left.

And that's Lee Mazzilli in the center.

(edit: in case the brown leather jacket didn't give it away.... this was some time in the 70s. late 70s I believe.)

OMG! That photo just SCREAMS 70's. :D Lee sure looks like he'll be heading for the disco right after.

Hey! Wasn't that guy in Saturday Night fever?:D

Great pic and memory.

To the sung to the beat of the Bee Gee's:

Lee should be dancin', yeah!! :D
