@1921 Lefty Grove Photo

[leftygrove10]

The first photo below is the photo of Lefty from eBay.

The second photo is a picture of Connie Mack and his son Earle from 1925. This shows a Philadelphia Athletics uniform from 1925 along with a sweater/jacket that appears to be the same as what Lefty is wearing in the eBay photo.

You can find this picture at the link below, which indicates that this picture was taken in 1925.

The third photo is a picture of Lefty that I believe was taken in 1925.

Here is a picture of Lefty in a Philadelphia Athletics uniform with the elephant logo. If the eBay photo is from 1925, then that uniform should be very similar to this one.

Rhys,

I'm looking forward to the inaugural RMY. Will be bidding on the 19th century stuff.

On this photo, I was wondering if you could post an enlarged scan of the cap. It's very hard to see from the scan. The cap does not look like the ones in the Martinsburg photo. It looks like there is a line like in the Philly pics that Brad posted.

The cap looks more like the Philly cap but the socks are wrong.

The fact that Lefty has different socks in the one picture above doesn't bother me. Here is another picture of Lefty in the Athletics elephant uniform with more similar socks to the eBay picture. While you can't see the elephant logo in this picture, you will see that the hat is the same as the picture above.

The 1939 Salutation Exhibit uses the same picture as the R315 above, but with a better view of the hat.
