Poloroids and Players - Show Your Photos
Back when I was a younger kid (and about 50 lbs heavier!), I had the absolute greatest job in the world... I got to work with sports heroes every week. I usually tried to get a poloroid taken with each player I met. Recently, I looked through some of my old albums and thought it might be interesting to share some of my photos and see others as well. I've tried to select some pre-war guys to keep this on topic. However, here are some interesting (and sad) tidpits about the photos below...
Good Ole Tommy - posted him in honor of his recent birthday. Hank's quote - well I was sitting in between Moose and Hank... Moose and I had met numerous times before and for some reason, jokingly looked over at me and said he loved me. Moments later, as Hank was signing my photo, he shared his true feelings about me. Buck - One of the nicest people I ever met. Poor Johnny - This photo was taken on October 5th, 1997 at around 4pm or so. Johnny passed away on October 6, 1997...

One Arm Ball Player; Pete Gray
Very neat idea for a thread. I realize the lighting isn't the best, but this is my oldest son with Pete Gray taken on the porch of his house in Nanticoke, PA approx. 10 years ago

Beckett will holder original snapshots, so you could have a graded photo of yourself with a player. Polaroids in particular are simple to authenticate as original, as, due to their one-of-one on the spot developing process, 99 percent are originals.
