Help me choose my Kreindler subject from raffle #2 (and a long overdue intro)

[perezfan]

I've always thought that this is the quintessential shot of The Babe. This one has it all...

Yankee Pinstripes, majestic pose, watching one sail into the right field stands. When you look at this image, you can only assume one end result... Home Run

I think of all the suggestions so far, the one I would enjoy seeing most is how Graig would capture the sunlight hitting (and reflecting off of?) Fingers' freshly-waxed handlebar mustache

That Paige image it beautiful. I would love to see that painted (even if it isn't for t20brew). I really like the pictures with two stars and the Babe/Lou bear hug picture is my favorite so far given your interests. I haven't see a brewer picture that stands out yet, hopefully we see some better mustache pictures soon.

I really like a lot of these. There are so many cool old sports photos out there. The choice is going to be tough.

Paige and Gibson.

Gorgeous.

It's tough but I think I have it down to less than a handful of photos. There are so many great photos out there. I'll try and post the final few in the next few days. I have my family coming to our house this weekend. My father passed the collecting gene to me so I'm going to get his input also since he'd enjoy it also.

In the meantime feel free to post other photos. I can definitely be swayed at this point. 😃

Eric,
If you give us the name of the last three, maybe we can add to those subjects.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose Babe Ruth as the subject. There are a few shots that I really like of him so far. If anyone finds a really cool one please feel free to share it. I'd love to see them.

eric,
Here is my last posting. Good choice. Babe Ruth.
I have a story about Babe, told to me by a good friend named Mike. The story is about Mike's father.
His father grew up in Detroit close to then, Bennett field. He used to go down to the games and stand outside the fence that surrounded the parking lot that the players would keep their cars. There, they could catch a glimpse of the players on their way out.
On this day, the Yankees were in town, and they (Mike,s father and a friend) wanted to get a look at the Babe. Sure enough the game ended, and their wait was rewarded. Out came the Babe. The Babe noticed the two boys and walked up to the fence, asking the boys, "did you see the game"? They shook their heads no, the Babe then bellowed, "Come on with me". He walked the 2 youths around the fence, and into the stadium, and soon found themselves on the outfield grass by the warning track. The Babe walked and talked with them from foul pole to foul pole. Mike's father always said that it was one of the most memorable moments in his youth. I was fortunate to know Mike's father, one of the most respected Commanding police Officers on the Department.
In my eyes, there can't be enough paintings to pay respect to Babe Ruth.
