I've always LOVED that image, jacksons. I've had plans to do a painting of it for a while now. That wonderful light in the middle ground illuminating Combs is glorious. And the combination of the foreground shadow of the triple-deck facade, and the shadow across the stands on the third base line just makes it one hell of a sandwich.

I'd probably bump the contrast a tiny bit and crop the bottom a little, and make it something like this:



And, here are two shots of a couple of other Yanks from the same era, and similar vantage points. The light isn't as dynamic, but these are still incredible.





Man, how incredible it must have been to see a Yankee game in the 1920s.
