Don't know if any of you photo guys have ever run across this website:

http://dlxs.lib.wayne.edu/cgi/i/imag...vmc;page=index

Back in the 80's I think, the Detroit News donated a ton (or two) of their negatives to the Walter Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit. They have scanned a fraction of them for public viewing. There is an amazing collection of old sports photos you can browse or search for. Many of the photos are by William Keunzel (Detoit's Charles Conlin if you will) You can also download the image. My grandfather was actually a photographer with the Det. News and many of his photos are on the site as well - which is how I originally found the site.

Check out this non-iconic but historically significant shot of Lou Gehrig the day he sat down at Tiger Stadium (from the website):

Gosh, that IS a great shot of the Iron Horse!


Adam:
I am struck by 2 things after viewing your post...

1. Gene Tunney's lack of muscle tone (as compared to today's fighters)
2. Fred Welsh's stiking resemblance to Eli Manning. A dead ringer!

Ok... 3... Those are some incredible images!

That's the most gorgeous non-iconic photo of Gehrig I have ever seen.

If we all stare at it for several days, I think we can legally declare it 'iconic' and be correct.

Well, I had forgotten about the 'iconic' thing until you forced me to look at the photos in the Legendary auction - I saw several 'iconic' photos that were not labeled as such, and it made me wonder what was less effective: labeling a photo no one's ever seen as 'iconic', or failing to label an iconic photo as such.

...so my re-emerging sarcasm is your fault.

Inherited and sold in a Leland's auction about 20 years ago. At least I had a negative made of the original. You photo collectors need to search out families of old newspaper photographers. Many of us are sitting on piles and piles of old photos and negatives.

Yes it's real...and spectacular!

Scott,
Who was your grandfather, if you don't mind me asking?

My namesake, Scotty MacGregor, was also a sports photographer for the Detroit News for many years.
Here is an early photo of Scotty MacGregor and boxing champ Jack Dempsey sitting on a porch in Detroit checking out Scotty's camera equipment. Scotty MacGregor was my grandfather's best friend growing up in Detroit.

BTW, I accessed the link that you posted, but I was unable to find the photos that you mentioned. Can you PM me with some hints on how to get to these?
Thanks!
