Been just over a year since the last post here.
I picked up a few neat snapshots in that time, like this nice 4x5 snapshot of The Splendid Splinter from 1940... Attachment 32099 |
Snapshots
Don't have many at all but did pick up a few from a fellow Board member last year of various Yankees and common folk at 1927 spring training. Yanks are Durocher, Lazzeri and Bengough.

This is the 1927 Yankees team photo. It is from the same lot that David's(Kawicka) pics are from.
The gentleman I bought the group from inherited them from his father who took the pics during spring training. It matches perfectly with the official Spring training team photo that is out there except for a slightly different angle. I've never seen a team snapshot like this. Does anyone else have anything similar? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...YanksSTa-2.jpg Another couple of Gehrig snaps. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Lou/Velox1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Lou/Velox2.jpg There are a few pics of these two guys making faces and such. Do they look familiar to anyone. I haven't been able to identify if they are actors, comedians, or famous at all. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Lou/Velox3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Lou/Velox4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...Lou/Velox5.jpg |

Those are two of the Ritz Brothers in your photos, Lordstan.
Definitely Harry on the left with the hat; I believe it's brother Al on the right. http://s915.photobucket.com/albums/a.../harryritz.jpghttp://s915.photobucket.com/albums/a...tix/alritz.jpg It also seems that Barack Obama's father and Mayberry town drunk Otis Campbell are sitting behind them.... |

I defer to Rick P.'s knowing eye. One look at their proboscises is all you need to know that these guys are brothers. Penner was just a semi-educated guess.

Great thread! Thought I'd add some cool early ones...

Great photos Jonathan...they come from the same collection as the Eddie Collins that I posted way at the top of this thread. (Since sold to a forum member)

Wait a minute...is Ty Cobb actually smiling??
Here's my contribution: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...GehrigRuth.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ehrigRuth2.jpg It might be tough to see because the photo itself is tiny (2" x 4"ish), and we're pretty far away in the stands, but here we have Gehrig at bat, with the Babe on deck. Supposedly, it dates from a game against the Browns in 1929. Written on the back was: "Game went to 12 innings. Score was 6-6 in last half when Babe hit a home run and won the game. The upper stand is vacant because this was a middle of the week game." Didn't all Yankee games end like that? Anywho, according to some research, it's the contest from July 28th. Though, despite what the text on the back says, according to baseball-reference.com, this was a Sunday game and midweek. Here's the boxscore: http://www.baseball-reference.com/bo...92907280.shtml Hope ya dig! Graig |
Wow, Graig. If you ever consider parting with it...

Hugh Jennings had a sad end. He had a nervous breakdown at the end of the 1925 season and was unable to return to his job as John McGraw's assistant manager for 1926. He was institutionalized in a sanitarium in South Carolina and never went back to baseball after he got out. Here is a snapshot of Jack Dempsey visiting with Jennings at the sanitarium:

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 ...

And here's a few more, including PCL great Tony Freitas (pictured with the Reds in '37 at Crosley Field), Johnny Mize, Lon Warnecke, Howie Pollet and Gabby Hartnett ...

LOVE that shot of Mize, Chris.

Holy sh*t, LOVE that shot of Hack, Max. It would make a killer painting!

LOL hahahahahah....thats awesome Scott! Looks like it was signed much later. I wonder what he said when he signed it?

My understanding is that the photo is from the late 30's- early 1940's and that it belonged to an lady fan from that era. She got it signed much later by Mr. Feller in sharpie. It now is owned by a collector friend of mine that purchased it over 20years ago. It had to have made Feller blush and wonder why the hell he ever posed for that one... You've got to wonder what the heck ever happened to create that photo shoot-yikes! :rolleyes: |
Of course Bob had to sign it, along with everything else ... that's hilarious!
|
Was there anything Feller wouldn't sign? Crack pipe? Hustler centerfold? Fake currency?
