I used to have a nice set of Yankee Burkes, including that Ruth and action DiMaggio. Here are a few from that group that I really liked:

Does anyone know if Burke would have photographed Roy Campanella? I've never seen one and it would have been at the very end of Burke's career. I would LOVE to see one if he did but have my doubts. Thanks!

I've never seen one if he did, though I know for sure that George Brace, his "understudy" if you will, took a number of nice photos of Campy (see one example below). Burke had a heart attack in 1948 (though I'm not sure when in 1948) that ended his career and would have limited his opportunity to capture Campanella on film in his rookie year. |

Just found this today. I wrote to pitcher Si johnson and he sent me back some George Brace photos of himself that were most likely Burke photos. Thought Id share this.
