October 2011 Pick-Up Thread

I have been buying a number of news photos lately. This one came in the mail today. It features spring training, a blonde in a polka dot bikini, Tom Terrific at age 24, and no evidence of steroids or silicone to pollute my two favorite pastimes. What more could a middle aged baseball fan ask for?

Hey 71buc,

Your photo sure looks like mine taken on the same day. What do you think?
This is one of my favorites. Mets 1968 Spring Training stretch- Florida style!

Did you win that one in a Henry Yee auction? If so I was one of the losing bidders and have been searching for another one for quite awhile. That's how I came across the one I posted. Nonetheless I still much prefer your image but I am also pleased to settle for the fruits of my search. Thanks for sharing yours I think it is one of the more amusing shots I have ever seen.

Picked this up at an estate sale this morning. Not single signed, but I've always wanted one personalized, so it will do for now.

Hi Mike,
Yes, you are correct. I do recall that my photo came from one of Henry's auctions. I believe that this photo will be featured in an upcoming book on Nolan Ryan. I like this image too!
