Hi Jarrod.

As far as I know, there were only 4 photos taken of Mickey outside the Joplin ballpark that day - Sept.14, 1950. I have been fortunate enough to obtain all four.

One is the photo you have posted (mine also has the small negative imperfection on his left shoulder/sleeve).

Below is another showing a different pose of Mickey in his Joplin uniform. Both of these were used by the press as he was about to start a 2 week travel run with the Yankees which began on Sept 20. One thing I really like about this photo, is that on the back, in addition to the photographer's original stamping, written in pencil is the phrase "to the Yankees".
