Let's see your photos of Men in Suits!

[thekingofclout]

I figure just about every photo collector has at least one...

The Bambino and teammates enjoy looking at photos of themselves at the Underwood & Underwood Photo Dept during a World Series Rain-out in 1915. TYPE 1.

Nice pic Jimmy.....Here is one complete set of three Baseball Premiums plus two others, shown before but still neat...1934 Adam Hats...

[ATTACH]Attachment 46783[/ATTACH]Well, here is one without a suit! Locker room '52 WS, Mickey's 2 RBIs led the Yankees to a 4-2 series winning victory over the Dodgers in the final game at Ebbets Field.

[Lordstan]

All type 1's

Late 1920s with Bengough doing a little home improvement.


OK he's not technically in a suit, but he does not have a uniform on if that is close enough! From Christy Walsh's personal scrapbook
Lou with Christy Walsh Jr. (TY Jimmy!)


Lou and Eleanor after getting married. 1933


Christy Walsh's Sports Parade. His stable of talent. I know a couple.
Schacht, McCarthy, Ruth(inserted), Bergen, Walsh(back row), and Lou.
Anyone recognize the others?


Lou in the movie Rawhide in 1938. From Christy Walsh's family. It looks so much better in person.

I was going to include semi-birthday suits, and since you got the ball rolling, so to speak... 1936 Gehrig TYPE 1 From the Christy Walsh Estate.

This is Dan Tobey in a suit when he was a Boxing Ring Announcer



Here he is with a trainer for the Nebraska Indians baseball team many years prior

[Frozen in Time]

Spectacular photo Jimmy!! I have a number of images with Mickey in a variety of suits as well as semi-birthday poses. Can't get to them at the moment as I'm doing some "home remodeling" and just to be safe, removed almost all of my photos to my brother's house. All I can post now are images from auction sites of items that I won.

Hopefully, this won't last too long (fingers crossed) and I can share some of this stuff with all you guys.

Aside from individuals of interest, seems we are both fascinated with these images and events "frozen in time".

ted and joe cronin and a few of the older boys!

Landis, Barrow, Harridge and some other fellows in 1934.

[perezfan]

1934 Tour of Japan....

L to R... Moe Berg, Connie Mack. Eric McNair, Charlie Berry, Julia Ruth, Babe Ruth, Mrs. Ruth, Bing Miller, Mrs. Earl Whitehill, Charlie Gehringer.

Whitehill's wife was prety cute!

Ed Walsh wearing his 1906 World Championship medal along with what the medal looks like.

[perezfan]

That Medal is incredibly gorgeous.... didn't know thay used the "Winged Sock" waaaaaay back then. And LOVE the American Flag as a backdrop. I want that!

[bcbgcbrcb]

Does this count, Cap Anson, bottom row on the right?

[71buc]

For some odd reason I actually prefer some of these shots to those in uniform. Heres my contribution of Ty Cobb, Joe Dimaggio, Jackie Robinson, Fidel Castro, and Landis.

[thekingofclout]

It ALL counts Phil. Let's see some suits! Suits, Suits, Suits.

1933 TYPE 1 photo shows Jimmie Foxx accepting his All-American Award from the King of Clout Himself. I guess you can call these Power Suits.

[baseballart]

Technically a card, but since I seldom if ever post cards on the other side, here's an OT suit

Here's my "Connie Mack".

I use quotation marks because part of me thinks it's not him. It's an ebay purchase from long ago.

[thekingofclout]

This might be my favorite "suits" photo, as it shows the great DiMaggio posing for the press as he had just announced his retirement on December 11, 1951

joeretires.jpg
Note: This was one of my photographs that was featured in Harvey Frommer's 2008 Book entitled "Remembering Yankee Stadium" which is a must for any Yankee fan.

[murphusa]

I have a group of about 125 snapshots from outside of Cleveland Stadium in the late 30's early 40's 2/3's in suits rest are in uniform.
if anyone is interested

[bcbgcbrcb]

Funny, I looked at the Connie Mack cabinet photo before the identifying info and thought that it was Mack right away. I guess that's a good sign (or I don't know what I am talking about)

[BrandonG]

Well since I'm the base ball guy thought I'd chip in an image from my book. Here's the top brass inspecting the so called "lively ball".

[kdixon]

Joe DiMaggio & Marilyn Monroe on wedding day:


DiMaggio & Ted Williams circa 1948:


Another DiMaggio:


Mays, DiMaggio and Mantle circa 1964:


Does this count as a suit...?


Richardson, Kubek & Tresh circa 1962


Sure I've got (or had) others, but that should do for now

Doug - that's the part of you that you should listen to. Though he is a man in a suit, he isn't Connie Mack. Among other things, the ear does not match. (also upper lip/philtrum, wavy hair vs. straight hair....)

Brandon -
Any update on when the book will be available for sale?

[terjung]

Since Max opened the door for cards, I'm going to take the liberty to post a few beater cards of men in suits too. (Please forgive that these aren't memorabilia.)

Still shooting for early 2012.

Thank you Mark.

Anybody want to buy or trade for my picture of a random guy in a suit? Insert smiley face here.

To make up for posting some random guy, here's one of my St Louis Republic supplements.

Doug,
Have you considered that maybe Mr. Mack got a perm and went under "the knife". Um, Mack the knife- get it? Nnuk! Nnuk!!

ca1914 ChiFeds, Big Easy. La. and death is in the air.



Chicago Federals; Louisiana Spring Trg; 1. Dutch Zwilling cf, 2. Jim Stanley SS, ? Buckingham (secr), 3. Art Wilson c, 4. Jack Kading 1b, 5. Claude Hendrix rhp, 6. Harry Fritz 3b and likely Al Wickland of

[bmarlowe1]

That's a great item Steve. That's Jim Stanley between 1 and 2. I wonder why he didn't get a number.

[Ladder7]

Thanks Mark,

This photo belonged to Dutch Zwilling. He ID'd Stanley as #2. That portly codger in the back is unknown. I have a scan of the back somewhere. The boys must be on a break from that grueling Fed training regimen.

*Note the bullet holes in skully's R temple

"Some terrific shots there Lance. Especially the DiMaggios."

Here's two photos from Joe & Marilyn's big day, either taken just before or right after yours was taken Lance. And as a companion piece is this neat receipt for Roses for Monroe from DiMaggio. From the DiMaggio Estate.

Dazzy Vance circa 1920 - this pic came from an album he made when he was in the minor leagues with New Orleans.

Wonderful pieces, Dan. I can swear that I have seen that Dazzy in Suit photo somewhere before.

That's funny Phil, as I was just thinking the same thing!

I'm sure I've posted it before...otherwise it's on my photobucket site which seems to get a lot of views.

WoW David. I've never seen a photo of these two great Men together. Simply as important of photo as I've seen.

From the Christy Walsh Family archives comes this 1927 World Series photo with every other guy wearing a suit!
