team photo question
 

Posted By: <b>rick hastings</b><p>I have a friend whose grandfather pitched for the Red Sox and the Browns in the late teen early twenties. His grandfather (Bill Baines) gave my friend three team photos from back then.<br />they are all on hard stock and measure approx <br />3 foot long X 12" high. In all three of the players are standing side by side in uniform with their names written above their heads.<br />Any information about these would be appreciated.<br />He had them professionally framed and they are beautiful. I have never seen anything like these before or since. <br /><br /> <br /><br />

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Early Major League Baseball panoramas (long photos) are rare and desirable. For the real photo versions, there are usually no more than a few of each that exist. Many were presentation pieces intended for display on a wall, and came from the estates of players, coaches and other team employees.<br /><br />The only panorama I own is one from 1918 showing my grandpa and the entire crew on board his Navy destroyer ship. I checked the faces, and Ty Cobb wasn't a member of the crew. The only WWI action gramps saw was when they shot at a submarine that turned out to be a turned over row boat.

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>I have a reprint of the 1911 World Champion A's.<br />It's a very impressive picture with the whole team <br />in their long sweaters. Each player is labeled at <br />the bottom. The picture is shot in an open field <br />with a row of houses off in the background.<br />Dave
