Original Photo Charles Conlon Eppa Rixey Rookie Year 1912..with a twist?
I thought this was a very interesting photo for many reasons. I recently acquired this original Charles Conlon photo of Eppa Rixey. I knew who Eppa Rixey was but, was unfamiliar with his career. When I was reading his Wiki page, I notice that this photo was taken in 1912 which was Rixey rookie season. In addition, I saw a photo on Eppa Rixey Wiki page, and it look very very similar to mine ,but from a frontal view. The photo used on the Wiki page, was actually taken by George Bain(the original negative for which is in the Library of Congress). Very cool to think that Bain and Conlon were taking a photo next to each other, of this rookie player name Eppa Rixey, almost seconds apart from each other!
This original Charles Conlon photo of Eppa Rixey also, is not part of the "Conlon Collection". Special thanks to Lance who help me out on this photo. Bain's photo on Eppa Rixey Wiki page:  Conlon's photo
