As graceful as a dancing master

[brickyardkennedy]

I remember reading awhile back, that this 1903 photo of Conroy, leaping for a throw at third, when with the Highlanders, was the first baseball action shot.

Wow. What a great photo. Conroy does look like a dance master in the picture. According to the records, 1903 was the first year Conroy played for the Highlanders. So, this is probably one of the earliest Yankees photos, as well.

Bob, thanks for sharing.

Hi Joe

I did kinda the same thing when I received my first T206 card of Nap Rucker. All the bio information that I found about Nap was quite interesting. Learned alot in just alittle time. Nice thread.

Conroy married Mary Helen Carey in 1904. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He did not attend college. During WWI he worked as a rigger for the New York Shipbuilding Company in Camden, NJ. Over the years, the Conroys lived at both 239 and 301 East Main Street in Moorestown, NJ.

Found this Bain photo at the Library of Congress website.

Great thread..."refreshing" to say the least. The T206 w/bat is one of my favorite cards of all-time. Would love to follow more threads like this.

Also, great pic posted above...really cool to hear and especially see more about these "non hof's".
