Snapshots...Lets See Them!

[Lordstan]

I forgot to post this one. I got it a few months back in REA, I think.
Love the shots of Lou with kids, especially signing autographs.

Did any members win the Mathews Rookie snap from Hunt? Really beautiful piece somebody got. I hope a member did!

Two photos of the same U.S. Olympic female track athlete taken inside the stadium at Berlin. She is wearing her opening ceremony parade uniform in the first photo and warm up suit in the second. You can see her participation badge on her lapel in the first photo. Impossible to read, but is says 'Leicht Athletik' on an orange ribbon. I just received them. Though not quite sure, I believe she is Gertrude Wilhelmsen who competed in discus and javelin. In the background of the photo on the right you can see two members of the medical staff carrying a stretcher. The swastika armband is visible on the one just behind the guard.

U.S. Olympic rowers on the ship on the way to Berlin for the 1936 Olympics. All of them competed for one of the rowing clubs in Philadelphia (Undine, Penn AC). The one standing won a bronze medal in single sculls. The others did not medal.

I was scanning some autographs including the one on this photo. Members of the 1932 Olympic track team. The women walking to the right is 19 year old Babe Didrikson. The woman above her right arm is the only 1932 Olympian I met in person: Mary Carew. The tall blonde in the middle is Billie von Bremen. They both won a gold medal in the 4x100m relay.

Wow, Babe Didrikson had some stout legs on her ass!

Denver Bears Beautiful Stadium Shot. Shown catching is former yankee Ralph Houk now turned manager to the yanks Denver farm team. Pitcher unknown.
Love how the chairs say Bears Stadium.
Ca. 1955-1957

Here’s a couple Clementes and friends

Saw this one and knew it would go great with a similar photo of Duke I have.

Great pick up Lucas!

I bought a lot from a fellow who got them from a Lady who presumably worked at a hotel near spring training in Florida from the early 60s-mid 70s. Will post one every few days ☺️

A young Keith Hernandez.

Thanks Gary, love sharing them! Here's one of Ken Boyer. The sunny skyscraper backdrop, classic cars. Reminds me of a movie. Love it.

[Scott Garner]

Thanks to Lucas for keeping this great thread rolling.
Here are a few recent no-hit pitcher snapshots to share:

"Toothpick" Sam Jones circa 1957-1958 snapper while he played on the St. Louis Cards. In 1955, former Negro Leaguer Jones, was the 1st African American to pitch a no-hitter while playing for the Cubs

Pirates LHP John Candelaria (photo taken at the 1977 All Star game at Yankee Stadium)

Dodgers RHP Ramon Martinez

Great shot of Sam, Scott!!! Love the no hitter history.

Here's my main man Red sitting on a Red throne signing some autos in the Lounge.

A break from my Hotel collection purchase.

I am ecstatic to have been able to pick this one up of Jackie Robinson. I'm pretty certain this is taken at Vero Beach spring training.

Amazing image, so glad I could add one of 42 to my collection.

Something else cool I noted is I believe Jackie is wearing a Wilson cap, which was only worn in 1951 and has a slightly boxier design and thicker lining. Reading about it, they weren't sure if players wore this design. Well here it is on Jackies head 😊.

That big ass is a dead give away. Gotta be the Babe!

[Lucas00]

Another recently acquired snap.
The Deaf sensation, Luther "Dummy" Taylor. Back has a small note written by Taylor himself. I believe the shot to be early-mid 1920s.

[Scott Garner]

I recently picked up this circa 1984 snapshot of LHP Fernando Valenzuela.
I love the image!

Fernando was literally the man in the early 1980's and Fernandomania hit LA hard. A great time to be an LA Dodger fan.

Although it was surprisingly later in his career, on June 29th, 1990, Fernando pitched his only career no-hitter. What was especially cool was that he hurled it in LA in front of the hometown Dodgers faithful.

Ironically, ex-Dodger Dave Stewart also pitched his own no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays @ TOR on the same day in 1990.
To the best of my knowledge, this is the only time in ML history that two no-hitters were pitched on the same day...

[Lucas00]

Sal Maglie in Cuba with the Cienfuegos.

CORRECTION!!! THIS IS NOT SAL.

This is Jean-Pierre Roy. The traveling Frenchman!

1946

I recently picked up this group of snapshots taken at Three Rivers. Clemente stands head bowed during the National Anthem, Manny, Milt, and Rennie on the field. The 71 Bucs getting ready, Hank Aaron and the Braves visit Three Rivers.

Joe D,
Have absolutely no clue where this is taken. But I really love the setting.
Ca. 1939.

Hi Lucas,
This is possibly taken in Cooperstown at the 1st HOF game.
I have a picture of Bob Feller from this game and it looks very similar.

The date on the back also would cover the fact that the pic was processed sometime in July or August of 1939. This lines up with my theory.
The fan that took the snapper was apparently a resident of WI that got the pic processed after he returned home.

Amazing info Scott! After looking at some photos of Doubleday field there is no doubt this was taken in Cooperstown.

Thanks for sharing!

[Lucas00]

I've been going after player owned businesses lately and have really enjoyed it.

Here is a nice shot of Stan Musial and Biggies restaurant. Shot in '57 with some gorgeous classic cars.

And a great snap of The man himself. Also taken at the restaurant.

Nice ones!
BTW, 1957 was the year that Stan the Man got his 3,000th hit, too which is nice. Stan and I shared the same birthday...Also Ken Griffey, Jr.

That's really cool Scott, if you ever want to take a birthday trip. You should check out the Donora Smog Museum. It has a section for Stan and Ken (more Stan I believe). And you can see stans childhood home.

One of my good friends is a huge Musial fan and has these beautiful Roy items. A banquet pamphlet and complimentary photo from 1942. Even Honus Wagner came for some grub.

[Lucas00]

A no hitter Snap I think Scott might enjoy. Jerry Reuss.

[Scott Garner]

Awesome!
BTW, I onetime waited on Jerry Reuss as a wine captain back in the day when he played for the Dodgers.
Reuss was fun to watch as a pitcher!

Will do on the Donora Smog Museum, BTW Lucas. Great pic of Ken Griffey, Jr. and Stan the Man.

Great story Scott! He seemed like a nice guy here in this photo too. Signing for a kid and smiling for a snap.

Frank looking about as 70s as you can get 😂. Great autograph as well

While I really only collect his brother Brooks this is a very cool snap of Frank.

[Mark70Z]

Man, some great snapshots lately; especially like all of the Angels examples.

Here's one of Brooksie (miss him). Anyone else have any examples of Brooks?1? If so, I'd love to view...

Tom Griffin and Larry Dierker.
Really good image of the two, with those iconic Jerseys and the astrodome background.

[Lucas00]

From the land of the forgotten, this shot is glued to a backing with a few other family photos. Marked 1916, Interestingly the fellow is wearing a very similar uniform (mainly just the Jersey) to the 1903 cubs.
Good chance this was taken in Chicago, I really like the background on this one with the big fence. Makes it look like he's on a field smack dab in the middle of the city.

[Lucas00]

Gutted I lost out on a few snaps I really wanted this evening that went with another I have.

To ease the pain I felt like sharing a great recent pick-up from the awesome Gary S.

Bill coughlin, from the 1905 Matty McIntyre scrapbook. Love the gear on the ground and players warming up as well.

[Lucas00]

Eddie Collins In College.

[wpeters]

The paper that came with these says they were taken on July 3, 1939. Happy Birthday.
