The Annual Suit and Tie Affair is back.

[Brian Van Horn]

So, this holiday season you may or may not have to wear a suit and tie at least once. Let's see the ballplayers in their best attire:

A few NYY in suits. Hargarve and Braxton, likely in the same shoot by A.L. Service Bureau and then 1908 Mike Donovan in a great bowler hat

I keep thinking that 'Rabbit' bears an eerie resemblance to Count Dracula. And there were no night games when he played Must have been a bitch.

For some reason, this 1936 World Wide Gum card of Rabbit Maranville always reminded me of Count Dracula!

Here are a couple pictures of Lefty Grove and Connie Mack. For the car guys on the forum, Lefty is posing in Philadelphia with his 1929 Nash, Advance Six, Two-door sedan, model 463. Lefty bought the car new. It retailed between $1,430 and $1480. The 463 had twin ignition (two spark plugs for each cylinder).

I think this is a phenomenal picture of Lefty, and the background information on the Nash is bonus material. Thanks for sharing.

My great-grandfather is labeled 13 in this photo. I believe these are Chicago White Sox players from around 1912.

How about a couple of "suits" wearing baseball uniforms? 1928 House Speaker with Democrat and Republican team captains.

Babe and the boys out drinking during Prohibition (note the beer on the table on the right). One of the boys was a detective hired by Ruppert and this night and photo led to Babe's famous suspension.

Pretty cool postcard

Perhaps my all-time favorite card. (Definitely, my most expensive)!

Some great shots in this thread - like the Sam Rice and Hal Chase. Good Stuff. Here's a young Hugh Duffy in his Player's League suit.

Buck always liked to look sharp, dapper you`d say. Shown here Buck during another White Sox trial in 1924. Joe`s is a shot of him from Sept 1920 minutes before 1`st testifying to the Cooks County Grand Jury. It was the first time he admitted "we took monies from the gamblers", and triggered the biggest baseball mystery the game has ever seen. Cool thread......

Thanks! Here is a cropped version that should be a little clearer - you can see the cigar too.

Another WaJo - I love this image.

Too bad his grandson didn't inherit WaJo's good looks! (Hi Hank - just teasin' ya!)

...From the hat to the spectacles to the moustaches to the pin-stripe coat to the boots , this had to have been the classiest manager of a Tobacco Company's Factory baseball team anywhere......
