Correct. I stupidly forgot all about that. This is something that does go on in these guides, where they drop in a photo and attribute it to an event, when it is in-fact NOT a photo from that event.

So the question still remains... WHEN did Van Oeyen have access to Matty that he could have taken these shots? If the ballpark in the background can be ID'd that will help quite a bit.

I went on a tour of the Hall of Fame Archives three years ago. Included in the displays I saw was Matty's cap. It's much lighter than the one depicted in your photo but otherwise looks the same. I also incidentally acquired Graig Kreindler's painting of the image.

Wow. What a cool display. And I didn’t know Greg did the image. Thanks for sharing that. Jealous to the extreme.

That's great. Send it to the Coca-Cola people. Maybe they will license it for MLB adverts and send you a nice residual fee.
