Putting on the ritz. 8th annual Suit and Tie affair.

[Brian Van Horn]

Gentlemen,

It's that time of year when you have to wear a suit and tie to at least one event. Let's see what everyone has in their collections with a suit, tie or even a hat.

Mr. Mack has arrived, and a nice W600 is checking in as well (stickers on back account for the grade).....

Some of the guys are taking the scenic route to your affair, but the Kid has arrived with Jack and George.

Can you imagine putting on a suit and tie to go to the balllpark (unless this was after church, I guess)?

My contribution:

Judge Landis.

The Judge in both photos couldn't even crack a smile while hoisting a couple of children? Mr. Grinch himself. Actually I just noticed he looks like a white haired Dustin Hoffman.

Bruce- I have always thought that that Kelly was one of the best images ever taken.

[uffda51]

Brian

That is why this is one of my favorite photos, rarely can you find Landis smiling.



Christmas time with DiMaggio:

Well I count at least 3 churches in that photo.

I can't believe nobody posted the most dapper of them all... The Clown Prince!

He kinda looks more scary smiling, doesn't he? And what is going on with that kid's hair standing right in front of him? The ultimate "bowl" cut!

1910s Concordia RPPC.....Don't remember seeing another duster with a baseball team but am sure one exists ..nice pipe and beanie too!!

[Koufax32fan]

I just got this one

At the risk of posting post war memorabilia in the wrong section I thought I would contribute something a bit different to this thread. This is Bob Moose's 1971 team issued blazer and tie. The photo is of Moose and Bruce Kison leaving Memorial Stadium following game 7 of the 1971 Series. Bob Prince who is visible in the background chartered a helicopter for Kison to transport him to his wedding. Moose served as his best man. Kison is wearing his team blazer although I cannot confirm it I believe that there is a pretty good chance that blazer in Moose's hand may be this one. The 1971 World Championship watch, cufflinks, and tie bar are also team issued.
