Great photo Jimmy- congrats!

+1 Jimmy - great 'hats off' shot. Wonder if Babe stuck his chewing gum right in his hair prior to the photo?

Good Call Scott. Underwood & Underwood did the hats off version. I was once the underbidder on that famous Ruth/Conlon photo with the Babe's wad of gum right on top of the button! And what's really great about that image is that the Bambino looked as serious as you'll ever see him.

Anybody else got any>?

I have a few photos that are in transit right now, including a very nice shot of a super young Mel Ott, so I'll have to hold off on posting those until they're in hand.

But, as per Jimmy's Conlon claim, this is an in-progress for a fellow board member:



If you didn't win that original, I can't even imagine what it really went for!!

PERFECT Brudah... as always! The Gum looks much better in Kreindlercolor. (Kreindlercolor Trademarked by DMD)

If I had won that photo, I would have had to sell many terrific pieces in order to raise the funds, that is certain.

Wow - another amazing piece. It's tough not being a Yankees fan sometimes!

I have a couple of Ott photos arriving as well, 1933 and 1934. His camera pose was so classic - every shot looks like it could have been used for a card.

One of my coolest St. Paul Saints items. Their 1920 American Association Championship Trophy.
