From A Portrait of Baseball Photography (para-phrased): NEA was Newspaper Enterprise Association which was founded by Scripps in 1902. It was one of the first news syndicates. Acme Newspictures was a division of NEA. Hope this helps.

David Cycleback has put out a great pdf/course on photos
Starting on p136, of this pdf download (note: large download), are great sections on Press Photos, Wire... The tags and different stamps

I already listed this with my Chicago stadiums, but list it again, since the link got messed up

Is anyone aware of any other good online resource? Looking into ordering "Portrait of Baseball Photography" amazon $85 for used paperback. Is it worth that?

I was hoping, by starting this thread, that others would post some of their older stadium photos. Not a lot of good pre-WWII stadium photos, except NY. I see the same ones over and over again.

I have had several people ask about selling some of these, but not a lot of interest in selling the ones posted, I do have probably 100 others (including player photos), that I may be more inclined to.

I am having difficulty on identification of the Polo Grounds photo post #8
Polo Grounds 1909
??? pictures, inc
??? first ave
New York 16 N.Y.

Picked up a few more stadium pics. Here is one of Tiger Stadium post-extension (1937), pre-lights (1948). Stamp on back is Detroit News Staff Photographer Kuenzel. Article on him: https://www.detroitathletic.com/blog...s-photography/

Also, looking for others to trade with. Looking more for stadium pics, similar to those I have on this thread. Have lots of player photos: Ott, DiMaggio, Yankees, Cubs...

HaHa. That's funny as hell. Never seen that shot. Don't imagine that would pass today's safety regulations.

1930 Associated Press photo of Sportsman's Park. The caption states, "Where part of the World Series will probably be played" and is dated 9/22/30. Games 3, 4 and 5 were played here. Philadelphia Athletics would end up winning the World Series over St. Louis Cardinals (4-2).

Love the "Polo Grounds during the famed 1908 playoff game" Any interest in a trade?

That's why OSHA exists.
