1947 Bill Rigney Photo Q's
Sorry, tried several times and couldn't get this pic to stay horizontal.
I have this photo of Bill Rigney and was wondering: Was it the norm for photographers to date the backs based when the picture was made, rather than taken? This is dated about 3 weeks after the 47' season ended. As far as the team the Giants were playing, I have no idea. Bobby Bragan wore #24 and caught 21 games for the Dodgers. Hodges wore #14 and caught 24 games for the Dodgers. Andy Seminick wore#4 and caught 107 games for the Phillies. Just guesses. Kayo was in the Bay Area so maybe Minor League or Spring Training facility? Thanks for any help , Andy

Andy, That picture of Rigney was taken at the Oaks ballpark in Emeryville. October 26 was the date of the annual Alameda Elks charity game which attracted a number of major leaguers/ PCL players that lived in the Bay Area. "Kayo" was the dean of sports photographers from Oakland at the time. I've seen thousands of Kayo's photos (and own hundreds of them). Many are undated, but in this case its the day of the shoot...MM
