Snapshots...Lets See Them!

[Lucas00]

A break from my Hotel collection purchase.

I am ecstatic to have been able to pick this one up of Jackie Robinson. I'm pretty certain this is taken at Vero Beach spring training.

Amazing image, so glad I could add one of 42 to my collection.

Something else cool I noted is I believe Jackie is wearing a Wilson cap, which was only worn in 1951 and has a slightly boxier design and thicker lining. Reading about it, they weren't sure if players wore this design. Well here it is on Jackies head 😊.

Another recently acquired snap.
The Deaf sensation, Luther "Dummy" Taylor. Back has a small note written by Taylor himself. I believe the shot to be early-mid 1920s.

I recently picked up this circa 1984 snapshot of LHP Fernando Valenzuela.
I love the image!

Fernando was literally the man in the early 1980's and Fernandomania hit LA hard. A great time to be an LA Dodger fan.

Although it was surprisingly later in his career, on June 29th, 1990, Fernando pitched his only career no-hitter. What was especially cool was that he hurled it in LA in front of the hometown Dodgers faithful.

Ironically, ex-Dodger Dave Stewart also pitched his own no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays @ TOR on the same day in 1990.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time in ML history that two no-hitters were pitched on the same day...

Sal Maglie in Cuba with the Cienfuegos.

CORRECTION!!! THIS IS NOT SAL.

This is Jean-Pierre Roy. The traveling Frenchman!

1946

I recently picked up this group of snapshots taken at Three Rivers. Clemente stands head bowed during the National Anthem, Manny, Milt, and Rennie on the field. The 71 Bucs getting ready, Hank Aaron and the Braves visit Three Rivers.

Joe D,
Have absolutely no clue where this is taken. But I really love the setting.
Ca. 1939.

Hi Lucas,
This is possibly taken in Cooperstown at the 1st HOF game.
I have a picture of Bob Feller from this game and it looks very similar.

The date on the back also would cover the fact that the pic was processed sometime in July or August of 1939. This lines up with my theory.
The fan that took the snapper was apparently a resident of WI that got the pic processed after he returned home.

Amazing info Scott! After looking at some photos of Doubleday field there is no doubt this was taken in Cooperstown.

Thanks for sharing!

[Lucas00]

I've been going after player owned businesses lately and have really enjoyed it.

Here is a nice shot of Stan Musial and Biggies restaurant. Shot in '57 with some gorgeous classic cars.

And a great snap of The man himself. Also taken at the restaurant.

Nice ones!
BTW, 1957 was the year that Stan the Man got his 3,000th hit, too which is nice. Stan and I shared the same birthday...Also Ken Griffey, Jr.

That's really cool Scott, if you ever want to take a birthday trip. You should check out the Donora Smog Museum. It has a section for Stan and Ken (more Stan I believe). And you can see stans childhood home.

One of my good friends is a huge Musial fan and has these beautiful Roy items. A banquet pamphlet and complimentary photo from 1942. Even Honus Wagner came for some grub.

Great Pics!!!

[Lucas00]

A no hitter Snap I think Scott might enjoy. Jerry Reuss.

[Scott Garner]

Awesome!
BTW, I onetime waited on Jerry Reuss as a wine captain back in the day when he played for the Dodgers.
Reuss was fun to watch as a pitcher!

Will do on the Donora Smog Museum, BTW Lucas. Great pic of Ken Griffey, Jr. and Stan the Man.

Great story Scott! He seemed like a nice guy here in this photo too. Signing for a kid and smiling for a snap.

[Lucas00]

Frank looking about as 70s as you can get 😂. Great autograph as well

[Lucas00]

Tom Griffin and Larry Dierker.
Really good image of the two, with those iconic Jerseys and the astrodome background.

[Lucas00]

From the land of the forgotten, this shot is glued to a backing with a few other family photos. Marked 1916, Interestingly the fellow is wearing a very similar uniform (mainly just the Jersey) to the 1903 cubs.
Good chance this was taken in Chicago, I really like the background on this one with the big fence. Makes it look like he's on a field smack dab in the middle of the city.

[Lucas00]

Gutted I lost out on a few snaps I really wanted this evening that went with another I have.

To ease the pain I felt like sharing a great recent pick-up from the awesome Gary S.

Bill coughlin, from the 1905 Matty McIntyre scrapbook. Love the gear on the ground and players warming up as well.

[Lucas00]

Eddie Collins In College.

[wpeters]

The paper that came with these says they were taken on July 3, 1939. Happy Birthday.

[Swadewade51]

Young Eddie and some adoring fans.

Killer additions as of late from all members. That's definitely a young Eddie! Probably rookie year if I had to guess.

Here's my most recent,
Johnny Vergez and Ethan Allen.
Love these multi player shots. Very personal, beautiful unis. Ca.1935.

These photos are awesome.

I worked for the Cubs in the '80s and started out as game day security and eventually moved into the front office. When I started working at the old ball park I immediately realized that the Ushers room and security office was the former Cubs clubhouse from before they moved the clubhouse to the far left field corner in the '60's. The floors were still chewed up from the players spikes and it had that "locker room" feel much like the visiting clubhouse had in the exact same spot on the first base side of Wrigley. As a member of the security team I walked that catwalk so many times which was why I immediately recognized that area.

Now that the old ball park was renovated all those old offices and locker rooms are gone but it was so much fun knowing I was dressing for the ball game in the same place the great of Cubs past had done for so many summers before me.

This is an awesome memory for me.

The best $15 I've spent in a while.
Rookie year shot of Connie Johnson (in 1954 they removed zippers).

And its signed on the back to boot.

[Vintagedeputy]

Not a snap shot, per se but I just picked up this negative of Tommy Henrich as a Giants coach from 1957.

[71buc]

I recently picked up these 1972 All Star Game snapshots. They include Murtaugh, Oliver, Clemente, Stargell and few HOFers.

Big fan of these!! Saw them posted but knew somebody else would enjoy them even more than me.

Here is one of my recent buys, Luis Aparicio in 1966 or 1967. Notice the cartoon bird logo, it was brand new at the time!

[71buc]

Great photo and autograph Lucas. You certainly have managed to put together an impressive collection of snapshots.

Thank you Mike! They are really one of the most fun things I've ever collected. I'm glad more people don't know or care about them.

It's like finding a new unreleased card with every photo.

That's my buddy, the late Ted Patterson, with Luis. Ted was a long-time and well-known Baltimore media personality who amassed an incredible collection, including many thousands of autographs acquired personally in the course of his work. LOTG auctioned Ted's collection a few years ago after he passed away, and I assume this photo came from there. Looks like it was taken at an all-star game.

Wow that's incredible info..

The back actually gives a name, though it's not Ted. It's Keith Rawlinson of Baltimore. Along with an address and phone number. Maybe a friend or relative?

I do agree it looks like an all star game. However Luis didn't make an all star team in '66 or '67 ('66 was the first year of the cartoon bird) so that is strange. Maybe something to do with the world series is my only idea.

[GoCubsGo32]

Great pickups Mike & Lucas!

That's Ted, without a doubt. Perhaps Rawlinson took the picture. The name doesn't mean anything to me, maybe another media guy who had that kind of access and could get it signed, or maybe Ted got it signed for him.

I concur; that’s definitely Ted. I picked up a few items from his collection over the years.

That's definitely Memorial Stadium & while their sole ASG was in '58, I suspect this was taken at an Old Timer's Game (most likely 1986).

[Lucas00]

Beautiful shot here of Lew Burdette. One of the better clarity shots I've ever seen. Not sure how well it will translate when uploading.

[Lucas00]

Double Boston Braves Mail day.
Dick Rudolph and Tommy Holmes.

[Lucas00]

Been a bit dry lately with snaps for sale. How are you all fairing ?

However I did pick up this 1960 World Series shot with Mick and Elston. Really happy with it, my first of both players.

Awesome! Thanks for the info

[Lucas00]

Just got this beautiful shot of the West Side Grounds in the mail.

Trying to date it, I believe it's somewhere around 1905-1908. Had to take an angled shot to show the silvering which I love.

It had to be prior to 1908, when the upper deck had been expanded towards the left field foul pole. I think that your photo was taken early in the season (whichever season it was), because the borders of the dirt cutout around home plate are well defined. Photos from the World Series games in 1906 and 1907 show that the grass had been worn down on the left and right sides, so there was not a clear border as you see in your snapshot.

Appreciate the help!!

Also if anyone won this lot please let me know if Red is for sale. Missed it on the drive back from the philly show.
