I am re-designing the look and layout of my baseball room to better fit my baseball collection, the highlight obviously being the baseball. I have made a couple of very long shelves to display my collection of AL & NL baseballs in one line chronologically, so you could basically go from left to right and see every ball from every year in one long line.
I have left some space above the baseball shelves that I would like to put a picture of a baseball player, basically a star from every decade above to kind of show which players used what ball, sort of a subliminal timeline of images, above the timeline of baseballs. So my problem is finding hi resolution digital files of certain players that I can have printed. I'm looking for a little help of a website or even your own personal collection of some of these players. I have a few from the Library of Congress that I like, but cannot find some others.
I'm looking for shots of these players in a game style position, or a candid style position, below is a sample of the Ruth I am using for the 1920's. I'd like to keep them similar. Here are the players I still need:
Joe DiMaggio
Ted Williams
Mickey Mantle
Hank Aaron
Pete Rose
Nolan Ryan
Ken Griffey Jr.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, you can email me directly to:
