Hey all,
I picked up this guy last week, and I'm pretty thrilled: ![]() The shot was taken on August 17, 1937 and depicts Gomez leaving the mound after shutting out the Senators, 9-0 in the first game of a doubleheader. The dejected look he had was due to the death of his mother, which he had learned about that same day. Talk about composure. Graig

Thanks, Mark!! Agreed 100%. As soon as I saw it, I thought the painting would just do itself. What an image.

Agree... just raw emotion. I am sure you could come up with quite the "quirkily, dramatic title".

Graig, That photo is a beaut for sure, and will look even better rendered in Kreindlercolor some day!
On a completely unrelated note, I picked up a cheap used copy of Okkonen's Baseball Memories 1930-1939 on Amazon for the reference library, and found an inscription inside that looked familiar. I didn't even have to look him up though, because when I flipped to the page with the bookmark, there he was. I can only assume the bookmark was drawn by his grandson or something? Not terribly valuable, but a pleasant surprise upon arrival (especially since the book itself cost me a whopping $0.34 plus $3.99 s/h). |

Graig that's a beautiful Gomez photo. It's very moving. It seems hard to find such evocative photos but very gratifying when you do. I have always been interested in Vic Power (Pellot). He wore his emotions on his sleeve and spoke his mind freely. I have been looking for a photo of him for my collection that best depicts these complexities. I picked this one up tonight and love his subtle forlorn expression which is explained on the slug. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Pellot Last edited by 71buc; 04-14-2013 at 11:22 PM. |

Mike,
You sure got that right - Power always seemed to exude something. Your photo is certainly a primo example. Sometimes, I can forget how much George Weiss may have been a bigot. The fact that it took them until '55 to bring up Ellie is evidence enough. I still remember hearing a writer (I think it was Donald Honing) stating that when asked about Howard, Weiss replied, "he's a good ballplayer and he's a gentleman." The writer then asks his audience, "since when did you have to be a gentleman to play in the majors?" Though subtle, it's still there. I suppose that the Yankees could have had many of the stars that were in the Negro Leagues during the initial integration of the NL, including the likes of Mays and Aaron. It's not like Yankee scouts had no idea who they were. And, their reluctance to consider Power is another example of that, especially considering how much he was tearing up their farm system in the early 1950s. Baseball is a strange and worrying thing. Graig
