Of all the terrific baseball photos ever taken, this shot from dugout level of Earle Combs at the plate would be my Holy Grail. I'd pay Mr Kreindler sick money to paint it. The caption states that Combs is hitting a single on Sept 9, 1928. The photographer is unknown to me. The Yanks swept a doubleheader from the A's that day. The catcher would have been Mickey Cochrane, the umpire Bill McGowan. Three Hall of Famers, such a deal.
