Reportedly, Mogridge warmed up under the stands before the 7th game as part of Bucky Harris's strategy to get Bill Terry out of the game, but anything's possible. The photo is certainly from 1924, the only year they wore those beautiful white unis, and I'm guessing it was taken sometime during the series. He's not necessarily warming up to pitch that day, perhaps just limbering up at another home game of the series. Harris and Ewing were the gold standard for D.C. photographers in that period. Fabulous memento from the Nats only championship season--so far.

This is the 2nd one of these I've now found, sold the 1st one and kind of regretted it, but lucky to now have found a 2nd one in the past 5 years.
Great condition too, better then my previous one, so happy about that. (12x18" & has all 8 men out) Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 08-29-2011 at 08:07 PM. |

The Bob Prince photo and the Kittaning football and basketball pictures are from an antique fair. The Clemente foldout is from a flea market:

2011 has now officially (for me) become a successful collecting year, on account of finally acquiring a item on my want list. This afternoon I had in hand an item signed by turn-of-the-century ballplayer John Joseph (Jack) Warner. The item was purchased earlier this month from autograph dealer Jim Stinson but wasn't shipped for a couple of weeks, due to an overseas trip by Jim. It was difficult to patiently wait for the arrival of this item. This "Jack" Warner (not to be confused with the more common John R. "Jack" Warner) played in 1,073 major league games, over 14 seasons, with the Boston Beaneaters (1895), Louisville Colonels (1895–96), New York Giants (1896–1901, 1903–04), Boston Americans (1902), St. Louis Cardinals (1905), Detroit Tigers (1905–06), and Washington Senators (1906–08). I am only familiar with his image appearing on two vintage cardboard issues (E107 Breisch-Williams, W600 Sporting Life) but perhaps there were more. Regardless, today, I'm all smiles. |

I have picked up a TON of new stuff, but I discovered this in a junk pile at the National. Previously unknown photo of the 1919 World Series, Warm Ups before Game 1! Miutes before the "Fix was on". Lots of detail under magnification including pre-game festivities like a Reds player and a White Sox player getting their picture taken together, Kid Gleason chatting it up along the third base line etc.
