Chicago Tribune/Balt Sun Photos

[Ulidia]

Thanks Mike - I think it had been there for some days before I got it but was one of those that was mislabelled so falls between the cracks.

Initially, I was going to buy it anyway because I liked the image. Ironic that it's a photo of the Robins / Dodgers as I'll be visiting the LA Dodgers for the first time later this month.

Looking forward to picking up those Lazzeri photos you sent to me when I'm over in San Diego in another two weeks time

Just picked up this oversize (8" X 14") Baltimore Sun photo on e-bay tonight, the 1922 Baltimore Orioles w/Lefty Grove. It helped a lot that the auction title and description did not mention the presence of Grove in the photo. At least a couple of people recognized the fact as the photo sold for over $100.........

I was wondering who got that Orioles photo - I've been snatching up a few 1920's Baltimore Orioles photos here and there for a book I'm writing and illustrating on the O's dynasty years of 1919-26. Nice pick up!

I have purchased quite a few of my photos from the Tribune/Balt Sun. I spend more time at their site than I should. Although I have picked up many photos there that are older and more valuable, this one remains my favorite. It is 11X11 which is an odd size and depicts AL Kaline in 1955 during a night game. I think it is one of the most visually appealing images of Kaline I have ever come across.

Very nice! With the play of light coming off the field to fight the shadowy darkness of the dugout, I would love to see Graig render this one in Kreindercolor! In fact, this photo somehow already resembles a painting to me (rather than the other way around, which would be normal for Graig's paintings).

Anyway, nice pick-up, and thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I had the exact same thought when when I purchased it. I'm certain he could bring this photo to life. Unfortunatley Graig's talents are currently out of my price range.

Love the Wheat picture.

Mike,
I love this photo of Kaline too. It's just perfect!

I've only picked up one of these on a hunch...and I was correct in my assumption. It turned out to be a hacked up m101-2 of Clark Griffith.
