Anyone else collect snapshots of ballplayers?

Great photos Jonathan...they come from the same collection as the Eddie Collins that I posted way at the top of this thread. (Since sold to a forum member)

Wait a minute...is Ty Cobb actually smiling??

Here's my contribution:





It might be tough to see because the photo itself is tiny (2" x 4"ish), and we're pretty far away in the stands, but here we have Gehrig at bat, with the Babe on deck. Supposedly, it dates from a game against the Browns in 1929. Written on the back was:

"Game went to 12 innings. Score was 6-6 in last half when Babe hit a home run and won the game. The upper stand is vacant because this was a middle of the week game."

Didn't all Yankee games end like that?

Anywho, according to some research, it's the contest from July 28th. Though, despite what the text on the back says, according to baseball-reference.com, this was a Sunday game and midweek. Here's the boxscore:
