Snapshots...Lets See Them!
To me, candid fan snapshots photos are such a cool unique piece of baseball history. Truly special.
I'll start by showing you a few of my favorite snapshot photos from my collection.

Roy McMillan
Roy McMillan, back row, right.
|
Bingo! That's Roy and this photo taken in 1951 came from his estate. The fella that indeed looks like Joepa is Grady Hatton. Can anyone guess who the other two guys are? Hint: the second from left wasn't a player but was affiliated with the Reds at the time.
|
Far left looks like Joe Adcock.
|
Yep! You guys are pretty good. That just leaves the second guy from left. Who happens to be in the HOF.

Great thread & I love snapshots!!
Here are a few of my favorite snappers. They are: Nolan Ryan baby faced 1968 rookie photo outside Shea Stadium (personal favorite) Bob Feller warming up prior to appearing in the inaugural Cooperstown HOF game in 1939 Carl Hubbell (Aka "The Meal Ticket") warming up at Wrigley Field circa 1930's. NOTE: The release point of his hand and arm after uncorking his famous All-World screwball is just amazing to look at. Is it any wonder that this pitch permanently disfigured his left arm? Walter Johnson as the manager of the Newark Bears circa 1928 Johnny Vander Meer in September 28, 1937 at Crosley Field |

Hi all. Been a while for me as taking a bit of time off collecting as intensely as before. Not out of it, just slowed a bit. Hope everyone is doing well.

Twenty years ago my daughter's teacher found out I was a collector of sports "stuff" as she put it and wanted to show me snow snaps that were in her family forever. I tried to buy them from her be she said she could not bear to get rid of them but was kind enough to run me off some photocopies of them for me to keep. The quality of the photocopies are not the best but the original snaps were in awesome condition. I need to find that teacher and see if she wants to sell now.
