Original photo Johnny Vander Meer at Ebbets Field 1938
I just picked up this original photo of Johnny Vander Meer that was taken at Ebbets Field on 6/17/38- two days after he threw his second consecutive no-hitter.
The way that the unnamed photographer captured the grandeur of Ebbets in the background is pretty special, IMHO. I suspect that this photo was a posed shot in response to the media frenzy surrounding the aftermath of the event...
