I'm almost POSITIVE this card features Shoeless Joe...

Don't know about you but it does not take me more than a second to life my arm from my that distance. The arm is in the same position in both images.

Wouldn't he have slid hard enough that his momentum sould have carried him at least into the bag? Seems unlikely the second image was snapped when he was just lying there short of the bag. But who knows.

The object is to slide hard enough to make it to the bag. Does that happen all the time?

Not sure it is reasonable to expect a photographer to be able to coordinate with their subject matter that closely. This was not a posed image.

Joe hadn't completed the slide as the point of the newspaper photo given it's description was to show that Lord tagged Joe before he touched the bag.

Keep trying buddy. And don't worry, your pal Mark will never leave your side. I don't care how long you've been here or if it's me against the entire board, you've shown me no respect and you'll get none in return. Keep making personal attacks like "asshole" and "dickhead" and you'll only expose yourself as another internet tough-guy. Besides, aren't there rules here against using those types of insults?

Brett- what you don't know is that Peter S and I have already exchanged emails about the language used. He has been on the board for years and years and yes, that does buy a lot of slack, unlike you. If I see any more inappropriate language, from anyone in this thread, I will edit it and give a warning. Even though this was a great first thread you posted, you are quickly losing any respect you might have garnered with your observation. Chill out and the others will too. regards

Leon- since sportscardtheory has made some less than flattering personal comments, shouldn't he not be allowed to remain anonymous? Technically Brett is anonymous too, since we only have a first name.

fascinating thread. too bad no one back then had the foresight to keep jax's head cryogenically frozen...we would've gotten a definite answer in 50 yrs.

As is board customary this is a request I agree with. Anyone can stay mostly anonymous on the board if their posts are not provocative, heated, or highly debated. This thread pretty much fits all of those categories..This is not personal it's the same rules for anyone and everyone.


Brett- email me or PM me for full name if wanted....

Sportscardtheory- banned

[Leon]

Brett- apology accepted

You got it Leon. I understand that this is your house and I'm just a guest. I'm sorry that things have deteriorated into what they have and I apologize to anybody who I've offended. Things started to get out of control a while back once the battle lines were drawn and I'm as guilty as anybody. I don't remember who started it and it's not important. I only intended to make a contribution here and I hope I have.
