Derek, the photograph may have been taken in 1951, but I'm not sure about that (I can't see his left sleeve to see if it has the 50th anniversary patch for the American League on it). However, that doesn't mean the photograph was printed in 1951. That 8" by 10" photograph was part of two team issued photo sets that I have. I think it was included in the 1956 and 1960 photo sets. It could have been issued in others as well. It's a nice photograph even if it wasn't printed in 1951.
