1. Tommy Bridges on the 1924 Gordonsville High School Baseball team. I graduated from Gordonsville 77 years later. A relative on my mother's side, Charlie Gwaltney, is 3rd from the left on the bottom row with the catcher's mitt.

2. Tommy Bridges and Daffy Dean shortly before game one of the 1934 World Series. They would face each other in game three. A 4-1 St. Louis win.

3. 1929 Portrait of Tommy Bridges as a member of the Evansville Hubs.

This has the makings of a great thread. Some terrific photos so far. Here's my faves . . .

#1: 1930 Old Timers Game at Boston.
Similar to Matt's. Just won it the other week. There is a ton of baseball history in this photo; you can stare at it for hours.



#2: Team photo of the 1928 San Francisco Seals printed from original glass negative. Some talented ballplayers in this crew.



#3: Harry M. Stevens outfield panorama of Yankee Stadium in 1939. It didn't look much different, except for the scoreboard, when I was a kid twenty years later, and is still one of the most beautiful vistas ever beheld by these eyeballs.



Honorable Mention:

Babe and Kids, 1923



Prince Oana warming up his flamethrower, Aratani team in Japan, 1920's

Dwight Eisenhower at Abilene High School, Kansas. He's the first person circled on the left. The other is his brother. Next is the Joe Wood photo used in Glory of Their Times. He's in the dark jersey, lower right. The last is the earliest Kansas image I own or know of.

Joe,
Do you know the occasion of the third photo you posted? As I believe that is Tommy Bridges to the immediate right of Cobb.

1927 team photo from Spring Training. Possibly the only snapshot of this team.

Sunny Jim Bottomley Burke. I don't collect him, but it's just a great shot

Great photos! I love this part of the hobby. I don't have very many myself. Those that I do have I purchased more for the visual appeal of the image rather than the subject. It is hard to limit myself to three. It is like asking me to pick between my children. So forgive me for breaking the rules by posting four one for each of my aforementioned children. Does anyone know when the next Henry Yee auction is?
