Thanks for the compliments, Romeo!
This one needs another day or two, but it's almost there. Commissioned by a fellow board member, this is based off of another one of Conlon's beautiful pieces. I'm pretty sure this dates back to '25.  As usual, my photography stinks. Hope ya dig it anyways! Graig

Because of the angle, I'd probably only keep a sliver of the ballpark at the bottom of the canvas. I think the sky would just frame his head perfectly. I do have some other shots of him from a little further back though, mostly fielding first base, with much more of the ballparks showing through.

Barry, I've always loved that Tannehill shot. It depicts him after casually tossing the ball, right? Conlon was so amazing at capturing shots like that. Even though I love the game action shots and all, seeing the guys casually tossing before a game is really cool. It's as much a part of a game as any image could be.
Sean, I have indeed. The only problem with this image is that because of the angle of the photograph, as well as the direction of the sunlight, it would be very hard to place any deadball era ballpark in the background that wouldn't sit pretty low to the bottom of the canvas. It would probably be best to find another Chase shot if you wanted to see more of the ballpark backdrop. Then again, I could just extend his body down to the knees, and you could see more that way...
