Thanks for your compliments Johnny!! Going even further with what you said regarding camera phones and all, it's amazing to think how much history HASN'T been recorded because of technology of the time, as well as the billion dollar business machine MLB has become 100 years after the fact...
Man, I still can't believe that people like Conlon would just stand on the field to capture this stuff. And think of how many photos he must have taken in a single game, and how many were destroyed. I keep praying that one day, I'm going to stumble onto an attic that has 1000s of lost Conlons, Bains, Thompsons and the like. I think I'd scan them all for a library to paint from, and then turn them loose to you guys!!
