Jim - The 1914 Babe Ruth glass plate negative pitching pose left me speechless - I’ve never seen that image. I thought I’ve seen every Matty image, but your book has several Christy illustrations that were “firsts” for me. Finally, Henry Yee’s Babe Ruth 1920 spring training inaugural Yankees “in uniform” photo belongs in Cooperstown! So many other world-class photos, but these stuck out the most for me. Thanks so much for putting this work of art together for us collectors.

Sincerely,

It was a pleasure many of you at the National and appreciate all the kind words. Thanks Leon for providing me with the opportunity to speak at the Net54 dinner regarding the book and Deadball photography. I hope everyone enjoys their books!
