I love those snapshots! Let's keep 'em coming ... Here's a few Boys of Summer (Pee Wee Reese, Pete Reiser & Billy Herman), plus Gashouse Gang great Pepper Martin and Willard Hershberger, the Reds catcher who took his sadly life during the '39 pennant race. All of these, as well as a number of others displayed in this thread, come from the same group of images captured by a Forbes Field usher in the late 30s and early 40s. That era seemed to be the Golden Age of snapshots ...
