Matty McIntyre's ca. 1905 Photo Album

[Huysmans]

What I've always found fascinating about McIntyre is the fact that he was there to see both Cobb and Ruth at the beginning of their careers. To have seen and experienced what he had... amazing.

According to the recent biography by Charles Leerhsen, McIntyre was one of the rookie Cobb's chief tormentors and made his life a living hell.

IIRC that photo album was sold at Leyland around 2003. John Rogers bought it and murdered it. Since the photos were glued to the pages he just cut out the photos he liked. I think I bought about 15 of them when they first hit ebay, when I got them some of them had half of other photos attached to the backs. Who knows what photos were lost forever.

Same. I have about 5 of these. The fronts are great, but the pics on the back are just butchered.
