My conversation with Smoky Joe Wood's Grandson....show some Smoky Joe stuff

Some of my Joe Wood items. Apologies for the disordered array of scan sizes etc. Yale team photo is from 1930. That's Smoky Joe and Rough Carrigan at their induction to the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1962, if I'm not mistaken (photo is buried somewhere in my disorganized mess of a collection). The dog ate my Horner cabinet. Graig Kreindler's amazing oil portrait.

David those photos are amazing. Is there anything written on the back of the large photo in the middle of the collection with the gentleman sitting in the wooden grandstands? I was wondering where the photo was taken. It looks like Majestic Field in Hot Springs, Arkansas? Thanks

Mike - The back only has written in pencil "Pitcher Joe Wood" and a stamp that says "Photo by G. T. Murray Boston Mass." Bought it a long time ago and didn't get much in the way of info as to year, place etc. One possibility is that Murray followed the Red Sox to spring training, maybe to Hot Springs. Who knows? I can send you a better resolution jpeg if it helps.

Graig's painting of him is off the charts. I always enjoy that one.

Here is a snapshot of him from his Cleveland days.
