Show Your Henry Yee Winnings

[Frozen in Time]

I 'm still not exactly sure why, but I have been absolutely floored by the quality and content of the Newman color slides in Henry's last two auctions. The man is a genius (well, both men are!).

Although I have a number of 35 mm transparencies and negatives, as many of you know, my main focus has been primarily on vintage Mantle photos. Well, in Henry's current auction, I finally decided to briefly reset my priorities and focus for once on some of the many 50's Newman color transparencies of the Mick.

Don't really know what I'll do with them (have no interest in making prints, etc.) but as historical color documentation of Mickey posed and in action at the stadium in the 50's along with Newman's influence on this paradigm shift in sports photography I think I made the right choice.

Here are two action shots from 1956: The first batting RH and the second an unusual fielding image at third base. I'll post my favorites next.

Ben,

Thanks. I'm sure you know the other two which I'll post here in a minute. Love both Ruths, but the "bellyache heard around the world" is absolutely fantastic! Just a wonderful moment "frozen in time" and , as you point out, says a lot about the Babe.

I just could not help myself on these. Stunning is the only word I can think of.
Both from 1956.

Here is then last one. A rare, large-format 120 mm color transparency, that was shot with Newman's Hasselblad. Pitcher's view of a wide-eyed young Mickey (circa 1956) as he is about to unleash his power and crush that poor ball.

Part of batting sequence photo session by Newman that ultimately appeared as a a 12 panel, 2 page layout in the wonderful 1957 Mickey Mantle Magazine (given out as a souvenir by the Yankees at Yankee Stadium). Just amazing clarity.

Craig, I really thought about going after the Mantles but held off, They are stunning, the detail and the composition is fantastic, great pick ups!

Ben, very nice adds to your already comprehensive collection, congrats
