Scott- I am not a very competent or capable scanner. I am hoping Caleb who chimed in can apply some scans that might help us form a better opinion.
He is the ballpark guru for Arkansas. We have been very lucky to find hundreds of photos of Spring Training in Hot Springs, many of which are exhibited in a permanent display at our Convention Center.
At this time multiple Emmy winning documentarian Larry Foley is working on The First Boys of Spring covering baseball trips here by the majors, minors and negro leagues from 1886-thru World War II.
The still photos have been essential in the project since virtually no video exists that we know of other than a wonderful piece in the University of South Carolina film archives on the Ray Doan Baseball School from the early 1930s, that is of Whittington Park, the other major field in town.
The Lannin collection of photos has been our best resource for Majestic Field thus far.
