Here is my favorite - the 1928 Pittsburgh Crawfords, featuring Josh Gibson (fifth from the left). This photo originates from the collection of Harold "Hooks" Tinker, the team's manager (third from the left).

This is the earliest image of Gibson during his playing days that I have ever seen.

I have always wondered why Gibson's hat has an "H" on it while all of the others' have a "P." Gibson will not play for the Homestead Grays for another two years, so I do not think that it is. Any other ideas?

Really a great photo! Thanks for sharing. Love it. How big is it? I bet it is really clear in person. I would also like to know about the hat.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
There are some awesome photos in this thread. Wow!
I don't have much to contribute on this theme, but here are a few photos of Ol' Satch. The ML debut photo and the Satch screwball grip photos I do not own, but I love them. Saved the images because I liked them so much.

That grip photo and that early autograph are both beautiful.

Gorgeous pictures! Was watching some of the Irvin pics that sold recently, but didn't win any.

I've been looking for a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson from his time in the Negro Leagues. If anyone knows of one I would appreciate any info.

Thanks!

Not an important player (Gibbie Meeks) but from a fairly historically significant and hard to find team, the 1946 Brooklyn Brown Dodgers. Branch Rickey founded the United States (Negro) Baseball League in 1945 and it lasted just two years. He reportedly helped form this league as a guise to scouting negro talent just prior to signing Jackie Robinson. He threw his full support into the Brooklyn Brown Dodgers team that used Ebbets Field for their games.
