Your choice in photos is outstanding. Some great images. I really like the clubhouse one as well. Those pics really show the other/human side of the players. Along those lines, I really wanted the picture of Gehrig signing the baseballs for all the kids, but it was not to be this time. I wound up with just the 2 pics I posted at the beginning of the thread, but am very satisfied.
Show us more if you won them.
Anyone else win anything from Henry?

And the last one from Henry's auction - a lot that did not draw much attention but, for me at least, is a very poignant 1957 image of Mickey showing how difficult losing was for him. The Yankees lost the WS to Milwaukee that year but did exact revenge by defeating the Braves in the '58 WS. In his first few seasons Mickey's response to frustration was routinely taken out on that poor water cooler but this photo illustrates a deeper, more human quality that reflects his own frailties and inability to cope with defeat.
