Wow! That's really amazing. I bet he had some really cool stories to share.

The Shot...
He certainly did, Scott! He was insistent that the Giants weren't stealing signals, but...
He always claimed that he was the photographer of that photo. Not that anyone didn't believe him, but I think perhaps he felt that he needed to prove it. Eventually, the author of Echoing Green helped him out. A (circa) 1952-53 Sylvania Flash Bulbs brochure turned up with this photo, crediting my grandfather. Then, after the passing of a relative in NYC, while cleaning out her apartment - the original photo and the negatives were found. My grandfather was so excited. He passed away shortly thereafter. |
