October Pick Ups

[repsher]

This is pre-October for me also, it's 9x14 and I haven't been able to locate a scanner big enough to scan, so please excuse the watermark. See if you can pick out the 15 yr old future member of the 3000 hit club and future Hall of Famer.

Al Kaline, second from left?

Very nice pick up Ryan, there cannot be very many copies of that shot out there.

That's a good one, as long as you're only scanning flat items. Best value I've found for oversized items. My only complaint is that if you are scanning something with "depth" to it (including anything in a hard slab), it doesn't focus well. As long as your photo is flat on the glass though, it works well.

1911 Great Bend Millers team photo. Team had 5 players that made it to the big show but is missing Farmer Weaver, so the photo only depicts 4:

Wild Bill Luhrsen
Ovid Nicholson
Rolla Mapel
George Kaiserling

Couldn't quite afford the Original Rules, but was pleased to pick up this 1899 edition of the Kansas University Yearbook. This was the first year for basketball at KU and the first year as coach for James Naismith. Also, pretty cool pictures of the baseball and football teams. As you may know, Naismith was the only KU coach to have a career losing record there.

Cards could have used Frankie's bat the last couple of nights!

Brock,
While I would agree that the barrel appears to be a match, the handle shows a much different amount of pine tar applied. The in-use photo shows minimal pine tar, wheras your bat has what I would call extensive application of pine tar.

I would tend to attribute this this to Montero using this bat over an extended period of time before he cracked it. He might have even hit more homers with it than you think, given its use. Food for thought....

Scott,
I understand what you mean by the pinetar, but I think it's just the photo. Because if you look closely at the handle in the game photo you can see that it's built up more then it looks. Included a better photo of the same at bat.

But I think Montero may have used the bat on and off from mid April till he broke it on May 31st. Also photo matched it to several Singles and Doubles and maybe a third homerun but need to find better photos.

Scott:

I liked the 1915 Red Sox photo too but couldn't really explain the linen-type paper that the photo was printed on.
