So this tiny book with the title Snaps arrived today from Kansas....how it got there--I don't know but now it is back in Rockford, Illinois--home of the Rockford Peaches where it belongs. Could not be happier...about 40 Peaches photos dating to 1951/52. And also about 55 pictures of the Muskegon/Kalamazoo Lassies from 1948-50 as well. These just don't appear that much anymore!

That Dottie Green players only pic is next level cool. Welcome back home!

Thanks.

Just a little extra here with the back commentary on the pickups. Also, Pettit is the only with a straight line cut on the border of his two pictures, except of course with the top left border on one.

The pictures were taken in March 1952 (mentioned on the back of most photos) in San Bernadino.

That Peaches album is unreal. WOW, I'd love to see them all.

And the writing on the back of those spring training photos is priceless: "Show this one to your friend the jock"
