Game action shots of Cobb in 1913, all explained by the scoreboard. Standing on the bag at first after a single and motoring past first on the way to third for a triple. Grace in motion!

A lot of great stuff in this thread.

Here's a couple. First is Dummy Taylor and Leon Ames at Giants spring training, 1906. Love that the snap has its own little mount:

Next is a group of snapshots of the Polo Grounds found in an album entirely from 1901. So these are quite early for the type of photos they are, and probably the earliest wide-shot, in-game photos I've seen of the Polo Grounds. For their small size, scanned large the images are surprisingly sharp and hold an incredible amount of detail:

A couple of them a bit larger. Note the ump behind the plate, and then behind the pitcher:

This is a pretty cool action shot from the 1905 championship winning Giants. This was part of a bigger presentation that had about 10 photos. i was lucky enough to win my favorite. Dont see many type 1's of Bill Dahlen (and there probably arent any of Bob Hall)
