help with Burke photo
Hey, all,
I just picked up this Burke photo of Feller (4x6 with Burke stamp). I was wondering if anyone could help me date it, as I am not familiar with the uniforms from Cleveland. At first I thought it was '36 but maybe later '30s or early 40s? Thanks for the help! Brian

You might want to look at Marc Okkonen's database of uniforms:
http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.o...ar&increment=9 While not foolproof, it is usually pretty accurate. From there it looks to me like your Feller photo was taken with him in a 1937 uniform, although Okkonen has the Tribe wearing dark rather than white undershirts that year.

Well I'm certainly no expert, but I picked 1937 because of the 3 vs. 2 stripes on the socks, and because it looks like '36 used the rounder-looking "C" on the cap. I'm not sure what you meant by the sleeves, as I don't see anything in your photo that points either way--maybe you could elaborate. It does seem that it could be from '38 as well, although the socks look more like the '37 version. I did not see the Indians using any pinstriped roadies after that year, so it seems safe that this was taken in the '30's. Nice photo.

I would say 1937-38 . Here he is in 1938 with the sleeves cut and wearing white undershirt . 1937-38 they wore 3 white bands on black stockings.

Thanks a lot, guys! I was referring to the stitching on the sleeves from the website Todd sent that are absent in the photo. But 1938 looks like a match.
As far as the stamps on the back, it is identical to the stamp on a Gehrig Burke photo that I have but also similar to one on a Greenberg photo from 1947. I would agree that the photo is from 37-38, which is what I was thinking. Not quite rookie year but close. Brian
