The Goudey artwork uses fabricated backgrounds. Here is the original Conlon photo.

Hey Rob, I'm not making fun of the thread but I wonder if it was as simple as he happened to be on the mound with a bat and someone said, "hey Babe, can I get a picture?"

How many of you have played albums backwards in search of a hidden meaning or phrase?

Interesting question though. Would be interesting to hear a back story or two.

Okay . . . that's a possibility. But what was he doing with the bat on the mound? I mean does that make sense for anyone to go out there with a bat?

I like the Conlon theory about adding in the background, but why would they add a pitcher's mound to his card and to Gehrig's as well?

See, that's the stuff I like to read - Conlon's theory, for example.
