That's Hilltop Park, not Huntington Grounds, in Conlon's 1904 image of George Winter.

While definitely a more modern feel, I recently picked up (off eBay) the slide used for Cal Ripken's 1993 Leaf Studio card

Special thanks to Rhys Yeakley for letting me add this Keeler photo to my collection.......

Interesting. The T-206 Keeler batting pose is based on a 1909 Keeler spring training photo taken by Spooner & Wells in Macon, Georgia.

This is a Bain stamped Photo, dated March 22 1910.........those hands and fingers, the hat and the cocked head are pretty hard to deny. I would love to see that Spooner& Wells photo ?

Google "Willie Keeler images", and you will see the full image as used in two publications. I know that the photo was taken by Spooner & Wells in 1909 spring training in Macon because I have owned or viewed more than 100 of their images from that training. Macon's stadium is distinctive because of the scalloped roof overhangs on the grand stand. 1909 was the only year that the Highlanders trained in Macon. To my knowledge, there are no known records that Bain took 1909 photos of the Highlanders at spring training, and I am not aware of any actual such photos.
