I agree with Scott. That is one terrific program Michael, and at some point, you really have to add the ticket as well.

This historic composite photo celebrates Babe Ruth as he broke Buck Freeman's single season record of 25 home runs, that he set 20 years earlier in 1899.

The slug tells the whole story and is dated 9/9/1919. One other comment regarding this photo, is both images of Babe & Buck are TYPE 3 photos. They were pictures of a picture, developed, pasted side by side, and photographed one more time to create the end result. Extremely rare for the era. I would say that regardless of what TYPE this photo is, the historic content trumps all, and the value wouldn't really be affected.

I've re-posted my 1915 Sox Pitchers TYPE 1 photo that was used for the Bambino's image, so you can compare the images of a TYPE 1 & TYPE 3 side by side.

Hey gang, Thanks for all the great images. Did you know there is also a Boston Nationals thread in here as well *crickets*?


These are from Dr Leander Powers collection. From his bio, he was some kinda guy!
After graduating from medical school and serving his residencies, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and participated in the Invasion of Sicily with the 45th Infantry Division as a captain in the medical corps. He received several medals, including the Bronze Star and was mentioned by name in war correspondent Ernie Pyle's book, "Brave Men." As Pyle wrote, "These men lived a rough-and-tumble life. They slept on the ground, worked ghastly hours, were sometimes under fire, and handled a flow of wounded that would sicken and dishearten a person less immune to it.

Hey Steve, the mounts for the goalposts are still located under the third base line and could be used again if Fenway were to host a game. Not sure is the right field ones are still there.

Lucchino gave them others to Billy Cundiff as a parting gift

I think your view is a little to the left......oops no politics.
