May Pick-Ups

[71buc]

I think I am having one of my better months for Type 1 photo pickups. Lately I seem to be buying more photos than I ever intended. I am rapidly becoming addicted to them. I know that not all of you are big photo collectors and I thank you for indulging me here. The photos are of Hank Greenberg 1937 and 1947, Red Barber 1940, Yankee catchers 1953, Ernie Lombardi 1935, Joe Gordon 1940, Joe Cronin and teammates 1933 World Series, Harry Carey and Billy Herman 1947, Billy Herman at spring training in Cuba 1942, Ralph Kiner at Ebbets Field 1950, Joe Morgan and Sonny Jackson 1967, and Elroy Face 1958.

awesome photos Mike.

I got the photo album in Today's mail. Its REALLY sharp. Smaller sized album, and you can almost feel the history of those guys at the park , and t he echoes of the miners who died..One of my favorite items I have.

It is a most impressive album. It amazes me how those photos in the album bring the past foreward and give it life. They evoke such a wide range emotions. I think photos serve that purpose better than any other vehicle.

I agree w that. I think it explains why so many people pay big money for the classic Cobb, Ruth, Lou, esp . I love the profile ones, where you can read their eyes, etc.

Mike,
Wow! I didn't even recognize Red Barber. I never realized he looked like that when he was younger...
