Snapshots...Lets See Them!

Two women players, dressed in the Calgary uniforms of the Western Canada League. I haven't yet found if they played on a women's team, or were just dressing in the uniforms.

I don't see your photo! Would love to though.

Mr. Cub with a young fan. This is my first ever snap that came with the Original Negative and mailing envelope. Ca. 1970

Camera Day at the Big A!

[calangels66]

So much more interaction with the fans back then.

Wow! Very cool snapshots. Nice images and neat that the fan captured so many teammates on the initial Padres team.
Some Padres fan would probably love to own those...

[GoCubsGo32]

Lots of awesome snappers lately!
Love the Banks & Ryan

Here's a Bert snapper from I believe July 12, 1970 (Minnesota Twins vs. California Angels) at Angel Stadium
Which would be just a little more than a month later from his MLB debut.

Scott, did Angels do camera days with other teams on the field?

Hey Gary,
Nice Blyleven rookie snapper!
Yes, the Angels absolutely did have visiting teams participate on the field during Camera Day during the 1970's.

That last photo of The Big A is just fantastic. Too bad The Big A is currently relegated to the parking lot.

[Lucas00]

Wow, an explosion of posts! Really nice additions to the thread, Angels fans had some good photo skills. And those expansion padres are very cool, would be a bidding war for sure!

Also I wonder what Bert was signaling with his finger down? Great shot.

Hey calangels66,

I love all the Angels' snapshots! I followed that lot of early '40s Angels snapshots on eBay for years, and I probably should have pulled the trigger. I grew up near the "Big A" and have many fond memories of watching games starting in 1970. Here are a few snapshots from those days ...

Another Big A! Those are great. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Scott! Pretty cool they did that for the visiting team as well!

I'm not necessarily a snapshot collector, but I picked up this group of photos. I know some of the players, but would love some thoughts on others.


Mark McGwire



Jose Canseco



Ron Hassey / Bobby Meacham



Billy Martin, Reggie Jackson and ? / Catfish Hunter and ?

A few years ago I stopped by an antique mall & after walking around a bit, I found a booth that had a shoebox full of baseball snapshots ($2 each/3 for $5). I began to thumb through them & figured out that the majority of them were mid 1990's taken at both Veterans Stadium & newly opened Camden Yards.

After not seeing any that really piqued my interest, I was finally rewarded with this shot of Bo Jackson (from his final season) chatting with Cal Ripken Jr.:

June 1994 - Griffey Jr 'warming up' in the Metrodome.

[Lucas00]

Sticking with the recent, more modern theme.


Here's one I believe to be late 70s-80s of the commerce comet.

Added some cool photos today! An early 40’s Ted Williams/ Hank Greenberg and a 1952 photo of Jackie, Joe Black, and Chuck Dressen.

Will change it up a little here....A favorite of mine....Lee Surkowski--Helen Filarski--and Vi Schmidt of the Rockford Peaches.

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...

Lefty O'Doul out for a round of golf with some other baseball player...from the O'Doul estate.

Thanks for posting. Really enjoy the Brooks snapshots with photos I’ve never seen before. The above looks a tad off with players standing on some type of stage.

I believe that's a camera day at Angel's Stadium. Definitely a bit odd and look like wax figures haha

The ‘64 example is really nice. I guess it would be even nicer if someone kept it in a drawer instead of their pocket 😃

Thanks for the info. The photo is like it has perforations. I don’t have any shaps quite like that example.

Wouldn't that be 1963 with the B hat?

Oh, I’m sorry; yes ‘63.

[wpeters]

I found this in a box of photos at the flea market, a1924 World Series outdoor scoreboard. Amazingly it's from Game 7. It's difficult to see, but to the left of the 1st inning, it says NY-Washington.
