Nice Phil!
A team photo never occurred to me. I like it.

You have the image Jimmy!
I would have to give it a bit more thought, but the image of Roberto Clemente making his leaping catch featured on his 1956 card was the first to come to mind.

Oh, Jimmy. What am I going to do with you?
Brock, I LOVE that shot. I actually have a few more from that World Series and the one from 1911, many of which are shots of both teams taking the field. The compositions have great views of the old Polo Grounds, complete with advertisements, old sweaters, and many familiar faces. I can't wait to paint one of them!!

Thanks Jimmy. Will be in the "On the Easel" thread soon enough. With Graig's workload that could be a while though.

I agree that the Clemente image would look incredible as a Kreindler painting. I was also wondering where that photo was taken. I'm sure that one of the "wizards" here can easily identify the stadium that featured that scary giant cement wall.
That thing looks so archaic, with the chipped concrete and huge painted graphics. I wonder how many outfielders bodies were obliterated, running into that thing? |

Hey Mark,
That Clemente shot is definitely from Ebbets Field. If I remember correctly, it was a line drive that was caught off of the bat of Pee Wee Reese. I also think it was an early July game in '55. I'm sure Jimmy can weigh in, as the photo probably still has the slug. Anywho, that wall in Brooklyn must have been so damn interesting. What's so wonderful about it is that sometimes, I forget exactly how large it was. I mean, you can see it in panoramic photos of the ballpark and all, but it's only when I see an actual player in front of it that I remember how much vertical real estate it took up. What a park that place must have been...

1955 Clemente Photo

OK - they had walked onto the field from the outfield clubhouse, but as the playing field is now behind them and the 3rd base (visitor's) dugout is a relatively few feet in front of them, and are also walking off of the field. So I guess we're both right.

You're a very sharp guy Mark and I mean that sincerely... but even I have made a mistake...once...maybe... well kinda...actually... I still think I was right... never mind

Thanks Graig and Jimmy...
Had a feeling you guys would be all over this. I found another great picture of the Ebbets Wall (equally intimidating!). I guess the image of Snider below is probably a famous one... just never paid close enough attention. Since you identified this as Ebbets Field, I now remember reading how Pete Reiser destroyed his body crashing into that thing. I would sell my soul to the Devil, just to have attended one game there! What a painting this one would make.... and how the heck did he get up so high? |

im a little different then most, i would want a picture of me and my grandpa together, he passed in 1982. He financed my collecting when i was a wee one back in the 70's and got me started on my addiction to cards. I miss him alot even 28 years later!

Favorite shot of one of my favorite players
Hack Wilson is one of my all time favorite players (along with Rube Waddell & Kirby Puckett) and this is my favorite shot of him swinging. The catcher and crowd adds alot too. I should get my brother -in-law to paint me this.

They are coming onto the field from the centerfield clubhouse at the Polo Grounds, walking toward their dugout.

I am loving this thread. Some of those photos are fantastic! ...and only surpassed by Graig's paintings.

Here's another in the same vein, Jimmy. I'll be sure to tackle it on day, too.

I've always thought this was a fantastic image (from a 1948 book cover).
