I think people have commented on the resemblance between Mathewson and Seaver; James also once wrote something about a picture of Mathewson and Cobb shaking hands, how their personalities (Mathewson: self-assured, confident/Cobb: frightened, small) were perfectly reflected in their expressions.

A never-before-published photo of Babe Ruth and two unidentified men, taken by Ralph Morse in the locker room at Yankee Stadium, June 13, 1948. "This picture works so much better in color than it would in black and white," Morse says. "Because with black and white, you might get a sense of how frail Ruth was, but you wouldn't really feel it, the way you do here. In black and white, you wouldn't see how gray his face looked, how the cancer had really destroyed him. To put it bluntly, Ruth wouldn't look as sick in black and white as he does in color. The man was dying, after all -- and it showed." Coming back into the locker room after addressing the crowd (so the story goes), Ruth was offered a beer by his old teammate, "Jumping Joe" Dugan, who asked the Babe how he was doing. Ruth took the beer, and looked Dugan in the eye. "Joe, I'm gone," he said -- and broke down in tears.

Roxymuzak: thanks, that's the one. I was wrong about them shaking hands...I think what James said was that even though Cobb was the older and presumably wiser and more self-assured player, it looks as if it's he who's in awe of Mathewson.

I haven't looked at this thread in a while.
One thing about the Dick Allen photo above, the one where he's smoking and juggling three baseballs: that was used for the cover of Sports Illustrated. I can't remember if it was '72, heading into his near-Triple Crown year, or '73, right after. Pretty sure such a cover shot would be verboten today; there's lots of things the player could be doing that wouldn't have been okay then, but it's the other way around when it comes to juggling baseballs...I mean, smoking.

i guess it's just recency bias (as in, i recently learned about it), but he seems to have really gone out of his way to fuck gil hodges over by refusing to let roy campanella (one of the HOF voters that year for the veteran's committee, I think) vote via phone, even though campanella was very ill and died a couple months later. campanella would have been the 12th and clinching vote.
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 18 December 2021 16:38 (three years ago)
Been reading up--didn't know that. I agree with him that Hodges was a weak candidate, but that does seem petty (not to mention not letting someone in a wheelchair vote by phone). Must be some decades-long grudge.

rube was a nickname for a country bumpkin but marquard was a city boy, and people called him that because he reminded them of another lefty pitcher, rube waddell

alas, he did not win the batting title (although teammate bill madlock finished second to al oliver), but he did rank fifth in slugging and OPS

damn it's been a minute since i really followed baseball and i never wouldve guessed that's matt carpenter! it's amazing what a beardless mustache does for a guy's look. take all those pesky ad patches off the uniform, run that thing through a sepia filter, and it would fit right in on a goudey gum card from the 1920s (ok the uniform fit is a bit off)

USC's Rod Dedeaux and a couple of fresh-faced punks (one of whom was cut from the team).

Checked to see if there was a book on Rod Dedeaux, and there is, from 2013--very short, but may order a copy. He coached a lot of great players, starting with those two and Seaver.

https://i.postimg.cc/3r9q5cZq/IMG-4436.jpgI kept forgetting to post this, truly iconic photo of Lincecum imo. This is his first postseason game in 2010 vs Halladay’s Phillies. Other photos from this game are (maybe?) more well known because of the Phillies fans whistling/jeering at him but this one is incredible for the composition: the windup, the incongruity, the lights. Everyone remembers this game for the two Cody Ross “ssory doc” homers but Ross himself was talking about this game on a podcast and said Lincecum was the forgotten man of this game - held a loaded Phillies lineup to 3 runs in 7 innings. Anyway.

Brendon Barynov (bbflicks on Instagram) is an MLB photographer who mainly photographs the Giants and visiting teams. Some of his usual work:https://i.postimg.cc/Sx2pF42F/IMG-7051.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/FHMXh63f/IMG-7054.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/L4Dqhty4/IMG-7055.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/c4Jv3vjR/IMG-7056.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/YqyhzpKJ/IMG-7057.jpgJP one particularly cool cos his dad is this guy (who I don’t know but clemenza might).Anyway recently he’s been using a disposable camera for shots and the aesthetic really works: something about combining the goofiness of players when they see a disposable camera, which many people associate with fun/informality, with the older/grainer look to the pictures making them look timeless.

Sorry, missed that--don't know much about the CFL (my friend's brother knows so much, he's been hired by the league for a panel charged with naming the 150 greatest players ever).

We lived down the road from Denny McLain when I was a young child, there were always references to the Tigers around my house, so I was kind of aware of baseball, but this is the first picture (and play) I can remember:

McLain is fascinating. I tried to get a filmmaker friend interested in exploring a possible documentary on him 10 years ago, but we never pursued it. Still alive, 79.

Rudi--along with Fingers--is in the Reggie documentary on Prime, the three of them sitting around reminiscing.
McLain was the dark side to the beloved Mickey Lolich.

i think as a young baseball fan i was always amazed at how old Sparky looked, though maybe not as amazed as i was about Phil Niekro still pitching for the Braves when he was by all appearances in his late '70s.
