Day 49 (February 18, 2020 – 049)
Ok, I’ve posted a few half way decent items, but you have to admit this picture today is COOL (Go ahead and admit it…). The photo is a large format, around 11”x10”, and pictures Brooks sliding, safely by the way, into third as Max Alvis of the Indians tries to apply the tag. The umpire at third making the call is Bill Haller. Really like the block letter ORIOLES home jersey as well as the “B” helmet, the dirt flying and of course the needed tongue out of the mouth look for added effect. The photo was taken by photographer Paul Hutchins of The Sunpapers.
Back in the day they didn’t have the camera technology like today and it’s a rarity, at least for me, to find nice, clear, up close picture of in-action game shots; this picture is an exception.
