    -------------------------------Some Prominent Team Owners:

    Horace Charles Stoneham:


    Owner: New York Giants / San Francisco Giants: 1936 - 1976

    Born: April 27, 1903, Newark, NJ
    Died: Januray 7, 1990, Scottsdale, AZ, age 86

    Wikipedia: Horace C. Stoneham (April 27, 1903 - January 7, 1990) was the principal owner of Major League Baseball's New York/San Francisco Giants from the death of his father, Charles Stoneham, in 1936 until 1976. During his ownership, the team won National League pennants in 1933, 1936, 1937, 1951, 1954 and 1962, a division title in 1971, and World Series titles in 1933 and 1954.

    New York baseball fans and media vilified Stoneham and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley when they moved their clubs to California after the 1957 season. Stoneham was alarmed by a dramatic post-1954 drop-off in attendance at his team's historic ballpark, the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan. Impressed by the success of the Braves after their 1953 shift from Boston to Milwaukee, Stoneham decided to move his Giants to Bloomington, Minnesota, where a stadium had just been constructed for his AAA farm team, the Minneapolis Millers.

    When Stoneham confided his plan to O'Malley, the Dodger chief informed him that he (O'Malley) was negotiating to move his club – the Giants' bitter rival – to Los Angeles. He suggested that Stoneham contact San Francisco mayor George Christopher and explore moving his team there to preserve the rivalry. Stoneham then abandoned his Minnesota plan and shifted his attention, permanently, to San Francisco.

    At the New York Giants' last home game, Stoneham was confronted by fans both angry — one sign read: "We want Stoneham! (With a rope around his neck!)" — and grief-stricken. After meeting with a group of weeping youngsters who begged the team to stay, Stoneham was moved, but said: "I feel badly for the kids, but we haven't seen too many of their fathers [i.e. paying fans] around here lately."

    Writer Roger Kahn said years later, during promotional tours for his book The Era 1947-57, that the Giants' deteriorating ballpark and shrinking fan base made it necessary for Stoneham to abandon New York. He noted, however, that the Dodgers – a year removed from the 1956 pennant and two from Brooklyn's first world championship – were still profitable and O'Malley's move West was motivated by a desire for even greater riches.

    While their early years in San Francisco produced only one pennant, the Giants of the late 1950s and 1960s were one of the most talented assemblages in the National League. They included five Hall of Famers — Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and Gaylord Perry — and many other stars. The Giants were the first major league team to heavily scout and sign players from the Dominican Republic.

    But the NL was so powerful and competitive — it had far outpaced the American League in signing African-American and Latin American players — the Giants had only one pennant to show for a decade-plus of contention. Stoneham was partially to blame for this, as he squandered the resources of his productive farm system through a series of poorly advised trades, and hired as his manager from 1961-64 Alvin Dark, who had a brilliant baseball mind but a poor relationship with at least some of his minority players. Dark was fired after the '64 Giants fell just short in a wild, end-of-season pennant race but, more notably, he had made derogatory remarks to the press about Latin ballplayers during the season. (He later said he was misquoted.)

    After their initial success, Stoneham's Giants fell on hard times during the 1970s. Attendance at cold and windy Candlestick Park plummeted, and Stoneham faced financial hardship. Finally, in 1976, he put the team up for sale. The Giants very nearly moved back east, to Toronto. In addition, it was briefly rumored they considered a return to the metropolitan New York area, perhaps to a new baseball stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands. But local businessman Bob Lurie stepped in as the buyer, and the Giants remained in Northern California.

    Born in Newark, New Jersey, Stoneham died at age 86 in Scottsdale, Arizona.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    At the age of 33, he inherited team from his father Charles upon his death January 7, 1936. Had become club executive (1929). Plucked Dodger manager, Leo Durocher, from cross-town rivals in mid-season 1948. Bad attendance (1956-57), caused him to give up on his long-time home in NYC in favor of milder climes in San Francisco.

    Charles Hercules Ebbets:

    Sole Owner: Brooklyn Dodgers, 1898 - January 12, 1912
    Co-Owner: January 12, 1912 - 1925

    Born: October 29, 1859, Greenwich Village, NY
    Died: April 18, 1925, Brooklyn, NY, age 65,---d. at Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, NYC, NY, after having suffered heart disease several years.

    Charles bought a small amount of stock in 1890, became the Secretary of the ball club (1896), & was elected President of the ball club even though only a minor stockholder (1898). He had originally owned 10% of the stock in the Baltimore team baseball franchise.

    Wikipedia: He was born in New York City, and was a draftsman and architect who designed numerous New York City buildings. He also served on the Brooklyn City Council for four years, and in the New York State Assembly for one. Ebbets first job with the Dodgers was as a bookkeeper in 1883, and he became a shareholder in 1890. Charles took an active role in marketing the sport to families, and took over team operations in 1898. He also managed the Dodgers that year, and the team finished tenth. Ned Hanlon, the owner and manager of the Baltimore Orioles, bought some of the remaining stock in the team after the 1898 season, and took the best Baltimore players to the Brooklyn team. They won pennants in both 1899 and 1900.

    In 1905 Hanlon wanted to move the team to Baltimore, but Ebbets bought out his shares. He is credited with inventing the concept of the rain check, and proposing a player draft favoring teams which finished low in the standings. He financed the building of Ebbets Field in 1912 by selling half his shares in the team to the McKeever Brothers. The Dodgers won pennants in both 1916 and 1920. Ebbets died of heart failure at age 65 in New York City, and is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.

    Edward J. McKeever:

    Co-Owner: Brooklyn Dodgers, January 2, 1912 - May 27, 1925.
    President of team: April 18, 1925 - May 27, 1925.

    Born: March 19, 1859, Brooklyn, NY
    Died: May 27, 1925, Brooklyn, NY, age 66---d. after a week of influenza/pulmonary edema

    Stephen W. McKeever:

    Co-Owner: Brooklyn Dodgers, January 2, 1912 - March 7, 1938.
    President of team: 1933 - March 7, 1938.

    Born: October 31, 1853, Brooklyn, NY
    Died: March 7, 1938, Brooklyn, NY, age 84,---d. pneumonia, after a week

    Charles H. Ebbets invited the McKeevers--Steve and Eward--to join his enterprise when he moved to a new location in Brooklyn. They assumed half of the stock. When Mr. Ebbets and Ed McKeever died a peculiar condition developed. Neither side would give in. Stephen McKeever became desperately ill. Eventually, he recovered and the National League appointed Walter F. (Dutch) Carter to serve as arbitrator.

    Carter gradually became convinced of the soundness of Stephen McKeever's judgment and collaborated in choosing the sturdy old Irishman as president.

    Stephen tried to run away from home at the age of nine and become a drummer boy in the Union army but his father's cane reduced that ambition.

    He and his brother, Edward, formed a contracting and building company. They specialized in sewers and asphalt paving. Later they constructed houses. Mr. Ebbets turned to them when about to build Ebbets Field. They took stock in the ball club in lieu of cash and erected a baseball palace.

    C. H. Ebbets remained president until the day of his death. McKeever was vice-president and Steve was treasurer. They worked successfully and in harmony. The death of two of the 'Big Three' threw the club's affairs into a turmoil with one-half the stock in controversy between three sets of heirs.

    A bitter fight was waged until 'Judge' McKeever recovered his heath and assumed active charge. He succeeded Frank B York as president. Steve McKeever was 57 years old before he ever had any connection with organized baseball. At the turn of the century he owned fast harness horses, but did not dabble in baseball until 1912.

    Before the 'Judge' took the helm a meeting of the Brooklyn directorate rivaled the best act of a comic opera. Attorneys-at-law, representatives of banks and stock-holders who voted their own stock assembled, but shares were held so evenly that nothing could be accomplished. President John A. Heydler, on behalf of the National League, finally effected a compromise that turned out satisfactorily to all concerned.

    January 2, 1912: Brooklyn Dodgers president Charles Ebbets announces he has purchased grounds to build a new concrete-and-steel stadium to seat 30,000. When he became pressed for his funding, he offered selling half the team to Ed and Steve W. McKeever, Brooklyn construction contractors, for $100,000 to complete the ballpark. They, along with Ebbets, functioned as a harmonious trio, with Charles serving as President, with Ed serving as VP, Stephen as treasurer.

    Charles Ebbets died of a heart attack, April 18, 1925. Ed McKeever took over as President immediately. While attending Charles funeral, Ed caught a cold, and within a week of the funeral, Ed died of pneumonia, on May 27, 1925. At this time, the only other person with Dodger stock was Steve McKeever, who held onto his stock until his death in 1938. His daughter Helen McKeever Darvey held onto her inherited 25% interest until 1945, when she finally sold out to O'Malley.

    Along with Dodger President Branch Rickey and Long Island insurance executive Andrew J. Schmitz, Walter O’Malley purchases 25 percent of the shares of Dodger stock from the estate of former part-owner Ed McKeever. When Dodger President Charles Ebbets was in the process of building Ebbets Field, which opened in 1913, funds were running thin, so instead of paying cash to the contractors — headed by brothers Ed and Stephen McKeever — he offered them 50 percent of the shares of Brooklyn Dodger stock. After Ed McKeever’s death, just 11 days following the passing of Ebbets, the shares went into a family trust. O’Malley said on November 1, 1944, "It has been known for some time that the Ed McKeever block was for sale to anybody acceptable, and we just thought it was a good idea to pick it up now."

    Walter Francis O'Malley:

    Owner: Brooklyn/LA Dodgers, 1950 - 1976

    Born: October 9, 1903, Bronx, NY
    Died: August 9, 1979, Los Angeles, CA, age 75

    Wife: Kay, born April 12, 1907, died July 12, 1979, Los Angeles, CA; Son: Peter.

    Wikipedia article
    Dodger lawyer (1943-50), deprived Brooklyn fans of their beloved team when he moved the Dodgers to LA (1958). LA's hero was Brooklyn's arch super-criminal. By 1950, owned majority of stock, after muscling Branch Rickey out of the Dodger Presidency.

    Was the type of businessman of the most despicable sort. Conniving, deceptive, obfuscating, selfish, manipulative, opportunistic in the ugliest ways. Should have been forced by Commissioner to sell his shares to the borough of Brooklyn, and thus bought-out in full, been required to start a new team from scratch, where ever he felt best for himself, instead of being allowed to kidnap a valued team from its rightful home.

    There can never be redemption for a black-heart of his ilk. He and Charles Comiskey will forever be the shame of baseball.

    Among the most influential club owners of the early expansion era and is widely recognized as the catalyst, through his move west, in Baseball's expansions of 1960, 1961, 1969 and 1977…From 1941-49 served at the Dodgers' general counsel, then served as principal owner from 1950-69, and chairman of the board from 1970-79…Gained control of the Dodgers in 1950...In first seven years the Dodgers won four pennants and a World Series, leading the league in attendance…Maintained tremendous player development program installed under the Rickey regime…Moved the club to Los Angeles in 1957 and persuaded Giants' President Horace Stoneham to follow…After moving into Dodger Stadium in 1962 the club annually attracted more than two million spectators and in 1979 set a major league mark by drawing three million…In 1977 the Dodgers were valued at $50 million, or twice the value of the average major league franchise.

    O'Malley was doing work for the Brooklyn Trust Company, which held the mortgage on Ebbets Field and controlled the Ebbets estate. O'Malley did mostly forclosure work. When Branch Rickey became president, the Ed McKeever block was for sale, The Brooklyn Trust Company talked to Rickey about buying it. Rickey didn't have the required capital and John Smith, president of Pfizer Chemical was brought in. O'Malley jumped in with a piece as well. The three partners Rickey, Smith and O'Malley bought the 25% Mckeever block. Later they bought the 50% Ebbets block giving them 75%, with a McKeever daughter, Dearie Mulvey owning the other 25%. After John Smith passed away, O'Malley convinced Mrs. Smith to allow him to vote her shares. He also convinced Mrs. Mulvey to vote with him as well. After the 1950 season Rickey was voted out as General Manager and President. He was still a stockholder, but he lived on the salary he made as President and G.M. There was a partnership agreement that said the other partners had to be given a chance to match any sale.

    O'Malley knew Rickey had to sell to meet his commitments and offered the price as Rickey paid at the start. Rickey found an outside buyer who offered $1,000,000. O'Malley always claimed it wasn't genuine but couldn't take the chance and paid the higher amount. From that moment on any time anyone in the Dodger offices mentioned Rickey's name they were fined $1.00.

    Calvin Robertson Griffith:

    Owner: Washington Senators, 1955 - 1960
    Minnesota Twins, 1961 - 1984

    Born: December 1, 1911, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
    Died: October 15, 1999, Minneapolis, MN, age 87

    Inherited team from his uncle, Clark Griffith on his death (1955). Transferred Senators from long-time home, Wash. DC to Minneapolis (1961).
    Sold Twins to Carl Pohlad for $36 million, 1984. Son, Clark tried to buy'em back for $120.m, no go.

    Clark Griffith was the owner of the Washington Senators. He refused to integrate his team for seven years after Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. During the 1940s, Griffith talked to Buck Leonard and Josh Gibson about playing for the Senators. Ultimately, however, Griffith did not sign them because he did not want to give up the $100,000 in stadium rentals that was receiving each season from Grays during their heyday in Washington in 1942 and 1943. Griffith's failure to integrate his team alienated his loyal black fan base and ultimately doomed his team in Washington.

    Wikipedia: Calvin Robertson Griffith (December 1, 1911 - October 20, 1999), born Calvin Robertson in Montreal, Canada, was a Major League Baseball team owner (1955 - 1984). He was famous for his devotion to the game and for his sayings.

    He was the nephew of Clark Griffith, who raised Calvin from the age of 11. After Calvin's father died a year later, Clark adopted the boy. The senior Griffith owned the Washington Senators from 1920 until his death in 1955; upon his death, the team passed into the hands of Calvin, who had worked up through a variety of positions with the team, starting as a batboy, and serving a brief stint under Joe Engel and the Chattanooga Lookouts at Engel Stadium.

    Under Calvin Griffith's ownership, just a few years after his father's death, Calvin moved the Senators to Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota in 1961. They were renamed the Minnesota Twins. Famous for his sayings ("He'll either be the best manager in baseball - or the worst," he said when he gave a young Billy Martin his first manager job), one of his most infamous landed him in trouble in 1978, drawing charges of racism. Speaking at a Lions Club dinner in Waseca, Minnesota, Griffith was quoted as saying:

    "I'll tell you why we came to Minnesota. It was when we found out you only had 15,000 blacks here. Black people don't go to ballgames, but they'll fill up a rassling ring and put up such a chant it'll scare you to death. We came here because you've got good, hardworking white people here."

    When his quote was reported in the Minneapolis Tribune, Griffith offered a conflicting defense: that his quotes had been taken out of context, that he had been misquoted entirely, and that he was joking, trying to get a laugh out of the crowd.[1] His best player, Rod Carew (already in a bitter contract dispute with Griffith), immediately declared he no longer desired to be "another ****** on (Griffith's) plantation." That off-season, Carew was traded to the California Angels.

    In 1984, buffeted by the changes in baseball brought about by free agency, Griffith sold the Twins to Minneapolis banker Carl Pohlad; Griffith wept at the signing ceremony.

    Griffith died on October 20, 1999 at the age of 87. Ironically, he was buried back in Washington, D.C., a city he rarely visited after he moved the Senators to Minnesota, and as a result made him one of most disliked figures in Washington sports.

    August 'Garry' Herrmann:

    Owner: Cincinnati Reds: 1902 - 1927

    Born: May 3, 1859, Cincinnati, OH
    Died: April 25, 1931, Cincinnati, OH, age 71---d. pneumonia

    Wikipedia: August "Garry" Herrmann (May 3, 1859 - April 25, 1931) was an American executive in Major League Baseball who served as president of the Cincinnati Reds of the National League from 1902 to 1927. As the president of baseball's National Commission from 1903 to 1920, he is often regarded as having filled the role of Baseball Commissioner before that position was officially established in 1920.

    In 1852 and in 1873, Cincinnati held Turner festivals, and by the late 19th century, American Turner festivals became quadrennial gatherings. Cincinnati hosted the national competition in 1909 from June 19 to 27, nearly turning the entire city into a German village for the celebration. The chairman was August “Garry” Herrmann, a Cincinnati German American beloved by the local citizens. Herrmann was a longtime city administrator, a political henchman of Boss George B. Cox. In 1902, Herrmann became a co-owner and president of the Cincinnati Reds, and over the next two decades was arguably the most powerful man in American sports. He chaired Organized Baseball’s National Commission, negotiated the beginning of the modern World Series, experimented with night baseball, was a national leader in the American Bowling Congress, and even had a racehorse named after him.

    A Turner himself, Herrmann often represented Cincinnati’s ethnic Germans at festivals, celebrations, and, in Republican politics. The image of the florid, flamboyant “Garry,” with his loud suits, diamond stickpins, and love for sausage and beer, belied the knowledgeable, hard-headed businessman who could create a national festival like the Turnfest and keep it within budget.

    Robert Lee Hedges:

    Owner: St. Louis Browns, 1903 -1915

    Born: July 1, 1868, Hickman Mills, MO
    Died: April 23, 1932, St. Louis,MO, age 63,--- d. Carcinoma of left lung, at Barnes Hosp, St. Louis, MO, buried in Cincinnati, OH on Apr. 25, 1932.

    Father: George, born Kentucky; Mother: Elizabeth, born Virginia; Wife: Pauline Davis.

    Following the 1901 season, the Milwaukee Brewers franchise of the fledgling American League was bought for $35,000 by 33-year-old Robert Lee Hedges, who moved the club to St. Louis, renaming it the Browns. He cleaned up Sportsman's Park where the club played and the Browns over the next dozen years drew well and were profitable. He kept his grandstand meticulously clean, didn't allow rowdies, the saloon bar was eliminated from the park. Built modern grandstand. Another rival major league, the Federal League, was formed in 1913, and after completing two seasons it agreed to disband. As part of the settlement with Major League Baseball, Hedges sold the Browns to one of the owners of the St. Louis Terriers, in the by-then-defunct Federal League, Philip DeCatesby Ball, for $525,000. Hedges made a tidy profit on his investment in the team, becoming the last owner of the Browns to make money on the club. He also held the distinction of giving Branch Rickey his start as a baseball executive, naming him the Browns' manager.

    Son: Robert Lee Hedges, Jr.; Born: June 28, 1896 - Died April 29, 1950 of cancer, Montclair, NJ.

    Orphaned at the age of 14, Joseph Lannin migrated with the flood of French-Canadians from Quebec seeking work in the booming textile mills of New England. However, arriving in Boston, Massachusetts the ambitious young man chose to work as a hotel bellman. Although he had limited education, Lannin was personable and possessed a quick mind. He soon learned about real estate and the commodities market by listening to the conversations of the wealthy patrons at his hotel and taking advice from those who were willing to share their insights with him.

    A confident and knowledgeable Joseph Lannin invested his savings in the commodities market, making a small fortune. From there he began to acquire other businesses and eventually built an empire of hotels, apartment buildings, and golf courses.

    In 1914 he purchased the Boston Red Sox baseball team and in that same year he purchased the rights to bring Babe Ruth to Boston resulting in his team winning the World Series in 1915 and 1916.

    Joseph Lannin sold the team in 1917 to Harry Frazee for $200,000. The "astute" Frazee in turn recovered a large part of the purchase price by selling Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for the then astounding amount of $125,000.

    With profit made from the sale of his team, Mr. Lannin continued to invest in real estate ventures in Boston and across New York State.

    He acquired Roosevelt Airfield where Charles Lindbergh began his historic transatlantic flight. Lannin provided Lindbergh with a room at his nearby hotel and watched the takeoff from Roosevelt Airfield on May 20, 1927.

    Never forgetting his impoverished beginnings, Joseph Lannin became a large benefactor to his community until his death on May 15, 1928, aged 62.

    He is interred at the Holyrood Cemetery, Garden City, New York.

    Helene Hathaway Britton:

    Owner: St. Louis Cardinals, March 24, 1911 - 1916

    Born: July, 1879, Cleveland, OH
    Died: January 8, 1950, Philadelphia, PA, age 70

    Baseball Biography Project: Article by Joan M. Thomas--http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache...lnk&cd=2&gl=us

    In 1898, the owner of the franchise Chris Von der Ahe and his corporation were bankrupt, which led to the purchase by brothers, Frank DeHauss Robison / Martin Stanley Robison. The Robinson Brothers called the team St. Louis Perfectos in 1899. The St. Louis Republic sportswriter William McHale started calling the team the "Cardinals" and by 1900 the nickname was accepted.

    Helene's father, Frank Robison died in 1908, and the team passed to his brother, Martin Stanley, Helene's uncle.

    Joan M. Thomas writes, in the Baseball Biography Project - "In 1901 Helene married Schuyler P. Britton, a Cleveland attorney employed in a printing business, and was living with him, their two children, and her mother at her family home by the lake at the time of Stanley's death, March 24, 1911. Reports indicate that Helene and her mother initially considered selling the Cardinals to Charles Weeghman of Chicago, but they quickly decided to keep and operate the club as its late owner had requested."

    The ownership of the club passed to Robison's daughter, Helene Hathaway Britton, when she was willed 75% of the stock. Mrs. Britton bought out Manager Roger Bresnahan's contract and hired Miller Huggins. She made her husband, Schuyler P. Britton, temporary President of the team.

    Known in the press as 'Lady Bee', she changed the name of the ballpark to Robison Field, as a memorial to her father Frank and uncle Stanley Robison, when she inherited the team and park from her uncle Stanley on his death in 1911. On May 21, 1912, she was granted full control of the team, when Circuit Judge Grimm disallowed an administator of Stanley's estate, Edward A. Steininger, from voting to steal the shares her uncle had willed her.

    On February 8, 1913, her husband, Schuyler Pearson Britton was elected president of the Cardinals' baseball team. They had married in 1901.

    1916: After another terrible 60-93 season the Cardinals are sold by Helene Hathaway Britton, in July 1916 to her attorney, James C. Jones, and stockholders, including a St. Louis automobile dealer named Sam Breadon for $350,000. The first payment of $175,000. was made on May 3, 1917, with the balance to be paid off in 3 years. By August 14, 1918, approximately $123,000. was still due her.

    She divorced her husband, Schuyler P. Britton, in 1917. The finalized status of her divorce was granted on February 12, 1917.

    Whatever the case, Schuyler Britton began a strong flirtation with the bottle. He began to stay out to all hours of the night with extreme regularity. As his wife's divorce petition testifies, their marriage was emotionally terminated in the early morning hours of November 7, 1916. Britton had returned home around 2 a.m., only to find that his wife had locked him out of their mansion. In a drunken rage he almost broke down the door. When she finally did admit him, she testifies that he "nearly set fire to the house" with his careless use of a cigar. After a heated argument, Britton packed some of his things and never came back. Later that morning Helene Britton assumed the title of President of the Cardinals, making her the first woman to openly hold such a title in the annals of baseball history.

    She married Charles Sulyard Bigsby, of Cleveland, a widower, announcing it on August 19, 1918. He was an electrical appliance distributor from Boston and he died around 1935.

    Orvon Gene Autry:

    Owner: Los Angeles Angels, 1960 - 1996

    Born: September 29, 1907, Tioga,TX
    Died: October 2, 1998, Studio City,CA, age 91,---d. cancer, buried Forrest Lawn, Hollywood Hills, CA

    Also functioned as President, (1977 - 1990)
    In 1990, due to his illness, his wife Jackie assumed
    the active overseeing of the team operation.

    Wikipedia

    In 1960, when Major League Baseball announced plans to add an expansion team in Los Angeles, Autry – who had once declined an opportunity to play in the minor leagues – expressed an interest in acquiring the radio broadcast rights to the team's games; baseball executives were so impressed by his approach that he was persuaded to become the owner of the franchise rather than simply its broadcast partner. The team, initially called the Los Angeles Angels upon its 1961 debut, moved to suburban Anaheim in 1966 and became known as the California Angels, then the Anaheim Angels from 1997 until 2005, when it became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Autry served as vice president of the American League from 1983 until his death. In 1995 he sold a quarter share of the team to The Walt Disney Company, and a controlling interest the following year, with the remaining share to be transferred after his death. Earlier, in 1982, he sold Los Angeles television station KTLA for $245 million.

He was not only a gentleman's, philanthropist, and keen businessman, but was named "Greatest Sportsman Of Our Time" in 1985 by The Columbus Touchdown Club at their annual gala. John passed away July 20th 1988.

    DARBY DAN FARM was founded by John W. Galbreath in 1935. Over the years, the Galbreath family has built Darby Dan from the original 85 acres to the current 4,000 acres. This includes 750 acres of blue grass pasture, 250 acres in woods, with the remaining 3000 acres in corn, soy beans and wheat fields. The Darby House sits on the original 85 acres.

    On the west side of of Big Darby Creek 110 acres have been converted into wild animal preserve. Animals include zebra, buffalo, deer, elk and antelope roam freely in large fenced pastures. The Galbreath family continue to support wild life preservation and propagation, through their support of Ducks Unlimited, The Nature Conservatory, The World Wild Life Federation and other organizations dedicated to conservation.

    Big Darby Creek runs straight through the farm and is a protected designated National and State "Scenic Waterway" that flows through the Darby Plain and extends west and south down the Ohio River into the state of Kentucky. Darby Dan Farm is named for the creek and John's son Dan.

    The farm include a 1/8 mile training track plus a six-stall starting gate, used to school the yearlings. There is a thirty-two stall training barn, which incorporates a completely covered 1/8 mile track.

He also had the privilege of signing Hall of Fame player Roberto Clemente. John was often seen at the top of the big hill at Darby Dan Farm in the front seat of his convertible, watching the sun set and listening to the Pirates on the car AM radio.

    Wikipedia

    Joan Whitney Payson was a sports enthusiast who was a minority shareholder in the old New York Giants Major League Baseball club. She voted against transferring the team to San Francisco, California in 1957 but after the majority of the shareholders approved the move, Ms. Payson sold her stock and began working to get a replacement team for New York City. In 1961, she was the co-founder and majority owner of the New York Mets and served as the team's president from 1968-1975. Active in the affairs of the baseball club, she was much admired by the team's personnel and players. She was inducted posthumously into the Mets' Hall of Fame in 1981. She was also the first woman to be a majority owner of a team in a major North American sports league.

    Margaret (Unnewehr) Schott:

    Owner: Cincinnati Reds, 1985 - April 20, 1999

    Born: August 28, 1928, Cincinnati, OH
    Died: March 2, 2004, Cincinnati, OH, age 75,---d. Cincinatti hosp.

    Continually embarrassed MLB because she just couldn't grasp how her racial & ethnic beliefs & remarks could offend & infuriate so many people. MLB forced her to sell her controlling interest in Reds.

    Bought her team, like Joan Payson, as opposed to other female owners who inherited theirs from their husbands: Joan Kroc, Jean Yawkey, Ida Shibe, Florence Dreyfuss, Edith Pross, Grace Comiskey. Gave generously to charities.

    Biography Resource Center:
    Throughout the decade and a half that she was owner of Major League Baseball's (MLB) Cincinnati Reds, Marge Schott managed to offend just about everyone--including players, fans, and her fellow owners--with the use of racial slurs and other insensitive remarks. Twice suspended by the MLB for such comments, Schott remained feisty and combative until the end, which came in the early fall of 1999 when Schott sold her controlling interest in the Reds to a group headed by Carl H. Lindner. A day after handing over control of the Reds to Lindner, Schott told Michael Perry of the Cincinnati Enquirer: "I think I tried my best, I really do. When I came in, there wasn't much attendance . . . I was able to survive 15 years and turn the Reds around financially and . . . also we had some wins. I don't think a lot of owners have even won the World Series [her Reds did in 1990]--although I got reprimanded for sweeping. But I couldn't help that. I'm not too ashamed of what we've accomplished."

    She was born Margaret Unnewehr in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 18, 1928. The second of five daughters born to Edward and Charlotte Unnewehr, she grew up as a fan of the Reds, Cincinnati's hometown baseball team. Her love of sports strengthened her ties to her father, who called his second daughter "Butch." Of her father, Schott told Sports Illustrated: "My poor father, he kept trying to have a son, and he kept getting girls." Unnewehr eventually brought Marge into the lumber business, but she stayed in the family business only briefly. Between 1950 and 1952, she attended the University of Cincinnati but dropped out after meeting and marrying Cincinnatian Charles J. Schott, heir to an industrial fortune. The couple moved to a 70-acre enclave in Cincinnati's posh Indian Hills neighborhood, where the childless Marge played mother to the family menagerie of animals and gracious hostess at scores of memorable society affairs.

    Schott experienced a major personal loss in 1968 when her 42-year-old husband suffered a massive heart attack and died. With little business experience beyond the brief stint with her family's lumber business, Schott suddenly found herself the owner of Schottco Corporation, a holding company for a wide variety of businesses, including a brick manufacturing company, an insurer, a shopping center, a concrete products factory, and an automobile dealership. The dealership, one of the largest in Ohio, had never made much money, so Schott decided to focus her energies on trying to turn Schott Buick around financially. She got little help. General Motors executives were reluctant to turn the franchise over to a woman. When she discovered that some of the dealership's managers were plotting to force her out of the business, she moved decisively, firing the managers and moving up lower ranking employees to fill their slots. Using eye-catching promotions and waving the "Buy-American" banner, Schott managed to turn things around for the dealership. In less than three years, sales at Schott Buick had jumped forty percent, convincing GM that Schott deserved to retain the franchise. By 1980, she had opened a second GM dealership, Marge's Chevrolet.

    A lifelong Reds fan, Schott in 1981 became a limited partner in the baseball team. She told the Cincinnati Enquirer she bought her small share in the Reds "as a token of respect to my late husband." The team in the early 1980s had fallen on hard times: attendance was way down and most of the best players had been either sold or traded by the conservative Reds management. With only a small share in the team, Schott felt powerless to end the team's steady decline. She later told the Cincinnati Enquirer: "It was very frustrating sitting back and watching some of the stuff. It just kept getting so bad, it got to the point where finally you have to speak up." Her chance to do something came in 1984 when the Reds' general partners--William and James Williams--decided to sell the team after four consecutive years of losses. Schott was able to buy the team for $13 million "as a Christmas present to the city," she told People.

    A little more than six months after she became a general partner in the Reds, Schott was named president and chief executive officer of the Reds organization. She seemed to revel in the celebrity of being the owner of a major league ball club. Some of her favorite moments came when she paraded around the field before game time with "Schottzie," her pet St. Bernard, greeting her own players and those of the opposing team. And she did manage to turn the Reds around, basking in the glow of some of the team's more notable successes. These included Pete Rose's record-breaking 4,192nd hit on September 11, 1985; pitcher Tom Browning's perfect game on September 16, 1988; and the team's fifth world championship in 1990. In the process, she went through a total of five general managers and seven managers. One of the latter--Davey Johnson--was fired because he lived with his fiancée before marriage, while another--Ray Knight--was hired partly because Schott liked his wife, pro golfer Nancy Lopez.

    A notorious penny-pincher, Schott closely monitored spending by the Reds organization, down to keeping track of the number of pens and pencils in the front office. She slashed spending for the Reds minor league farm system and said she hated spending for talent scouts because "all they do is watch games." Sadly, Schott's insensitive remarks largely overshadowed her positive contributions to the Reds. On February 3, 1993, Schott was fined $25,000 and banned from the day-to-day operations of the Reds for a year for using racial epithets.

    Interviewed by ESPN in May 1996, Schott said she believed that Hitler "was good in the beginning but went too far," setting off a new round of controversy and again bringing down the wrath of Major League Baseball upon her head. On June 12, 1996, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig ordered that Schott relinquish control of the team through the end of the 1998 season. The suspension is later extended to include the 1999 season, during which time Schott negotiated the sale of the team to a investor group led by fellow Cincinnatian Carl H. Lindner, chairman and CEO of American Financial Group Inc. In October 1999, Schott received $67 million for her shares in the team.

    A lifelong resident of Cincinnati, Schott lives there still. Although she retains some token holdings in the Cincinnati Reds, she has not been involved in the team's management since she was forced to sell her majority interest in 1999. But she will forever remain one of the biggest fans of her hometown baseball team, and she still has seats at the Reds' Cinergy Field, where she cheers on the Reds whenever she can. Since stepping down as the Reds' majority owner, Schott has been plagued by illness and injury. In 1999, she was hospitalized at Cincinnati's Jewish Hospital with a bout of seasonal allergy, and she was hospitalized several times during 2001 and 2002 with breathing problems. Schott remains active in civic affairs and has made a couple of sizeable contributions to Cincinnati's St. Ursula Academy. An animal lover, Schott again made news in early 2002 when she offered to make a home for a runaway cow at her 70-acre Indian Hill estate.

    There can be no argument that Marge Schott and her business skills helped the Cincinnati Reds recover from one of their biggest slumps--in terms of both finances and morale--ever. In a statement released after the sale of the Reds was finalized, new owner Lindner said of Schott: "I've known her for a long time, including her many years as an owner of the Reds. She has always kept the fans first in her mind. For that, all of Cincinnati should thank her and join me in wishing her the very best." Unfortunately, much of the good Schott accomplished may eventually be forgotten in the shadow of some of the insensitive remarks attributed to her over the years.

    August Anheuser Busch Jr., the master showman and irrepressible salesman who turned a small family operation into the world's largest brewing company, died yesterday at his home in suburban St. Louis County, Mo. He was 90 years old and had recently been hospitalized with pneumonia.

    He had been honorary chairman of the Anheuser-Busch Companies since his retirement in 1975. But he had remained active as the president of the St. Louis Cardinals, the National League baseball club he persuaded the company's board to buy in 1953.

    Mr. Busch, known as Gussie to virtually everybody who did not know him and as Gus to those who knew him well enough not to call him Mr. Busch, was the grandson and great-grandson of the founders of the company that bore two of his names.

    The company, founded in 1876, survived Prohibition by moving into widely diverse products like soft drinks and automobile bodies.

    Born in St. Louis on March 28, 1899, Mr. Busch entered the family business as a young man and became general superintendent of brewing operations in 1924. He took over as head of the brewery division after the death of his father in 1934. Although he did not become president of the company until the death of his older brother, Adolphus Busch 3d, in 1946, Mr. Busch had already made his mark as a salesman-showman.

    To celebrate the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, Mr. Busch recalled the draft horses that had once pulled beer wagons in Germany and pre-automotive America and obtained a team to haul the first case of Budweiser down Pennsylvania Avenue for delivery to President Franklin D. Roosevelt at the White House. Since then the famous eight-horse hitch of Clydesdales has become almost as famous as the brand they continue to promote.

    What was undoubtedly Mr. Busch's greatest promotional coup was disguised as a civic duty - the company's purchase of the Cardinals for $7.8 million in 1953 after the previous owner was convicted of income tax invasion.

    ''My ambition,'' Mr. Busch declared, ''is, whether hell or high water, to get a championship baseball team for St. Louis before I die.''

    He had a long wait. But beginning in 1964, the team won six National League pennants, most recently in 1987, and the World Series in 1964, 1967 and 1982.

    Mr. Busch savored success, and he became a familiar triumphant figure to baseball fans in league playoffs and World Series home games when he would ride into Busch Stadium on the Clydesdale wagon waving a red cowboy hat.

    He attributed the team's success and the company's to his policy of noninterference. Even so, he was active in the club's affairs long after he left the company to others, and in 1982 he led the campaign among major league owners not to retain the previous commissioner, Bowie Kuhn.

    Through the Clydesdales and the Cardinals, other promotional gimmicks and a commitment to mass advertising, Mr. Busch turned a comparatively small and financially ailing company into the industry giant. In his 29 years as the company's active head, sales of beer went from 3 million to 37 million barrels a year. Last year the company produced 78.5 million barrels, almost double the output of its nearest competitor, and recorded sales of $9.7 billion. Its flagship brand, Budweiser, is the most popular beer in the world.

    Through direct ownership and various trusts, Mr. Busch owned 12.5 percent of the company, or more than 30 million shares of its common stock. At yesterday's closing price of $43.375 on the New York Stock Exchange, the holdings were worth more than $1.3 billion. The day's increase of $1.125 a share represented a gain of more than $30 million. Trading in the company's stock was suspended for 20 minutes after the announcement of his death.

    Mr. Busch, at 5 feet 10 inches tall and 165 pounds, was a man of medium stature, but he had a loud voice that was once likened to the roar of a hoarse lion.

    Fortunately for his colleagues, he had a sense of humor about his own shortcomings, which included a hairtrigger temper. ''All right, you guys,'' he once shouted at a raucous company meeting. ''Let me blow my stack first. Then you can blow yours.'' He also had an outsized zest for life, and both the wealth and the inclination to indulge it.

    Among other things, his 281-acre estate, Grant's Farm, includes a cabin built by hand by President Ulysses S. Grant and has a 34-room French Renaissance chateau and a well-stocked private zoo, which reflect his abiding love of animals. Mr. Busch trained his own chimpanzees and elephants before donating them to the St. Louis Zoo.

    A onetime rodeo rider who later served as master of the Bridlespur Hunt outside St. Louis, Mr. Busch stocked his air-conditioned stables with several breeds, including hackneys, hunters and jumpers.

    He clattered his way into family legend one day when he rode one of his horses up the main staircase of the family residence to cheer up his bedridden father.

    Mr. Busch was married four times. Two of the marriages ended in divorce. His last wife, the former Margaret Rohde, died last year.

    His survivors include a sister, Mrs. Carl W. Gronewaldt of Cooperstown, N.Y., and 10 children. They are Carlota Busch Giersch of Pasadena, Calif., and Lilly Busch Hermann of St. Louis, both daughters of the late Mrs. Marie Church Busch; August A. Busch 3d of St. Louis and Elizabeth Busch Burke of Middleburg, Va., children of the late Elizabeth Overton Busch; Adolphus A. Busch 4th of St. Louis, Beatrice Busch von Gontard of St. Louis, Peter W. Busch of Vero Beach, Fla., Trudy Busch Valentine of St. Louis, William K. Busch of St. Louis and Andrew D. Busch of St. Louis, all children of Gertrude Buholzer Busch.

    Mr. Busch is also survived by 27 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. The funeral is to be private, and details of a memorial service will be announced later.

    Gussie Busch---From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    August "Gussie" Anheuser Busch, Jr. (March 28, 1899 – September 29, 1989) was an American brewing magnate who built the Anheuser-Busch Companies into the largest brewery in the world as company chairman from 1946-75, and became a prominent sportsman as owner of the St. Louis Cardinals franchise in Major League Baseball from 1953 until his death.

    Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Busch was the grandson of brewery founder Adolphus Busch (died 1913) and grandfather of current CEO August Busch IV. August Anheuser Busch, Sr., who headed the brewing firm earlier, died in 1934. He succeeded his older brother Adolphus Busch III as President and CEO. He originated the use of the now famous Clydesdale team as a company logo in the 1930s. Such Clydesdales were presented to his father pulling a Budweiser beer wagon to commemorate the end of Prohibition.

    The number 85 was retired by the St. Louis Cardinals in honor of Gussie Busch in 1984As chairman, president or CEO of the Cardinals from the time the club was purchased by the brewery in 1953 until his death, Busch oversaw a team which won six National League championships (1964, 1967, 1968, 1982, 1985, 1987) and three World Series (1964, 1967 and 1982) under his stewardship. In 1984, the Cardinals' board of directors retired the uniform number 85 for him, in honor of his age at the time.

    Although the Cardinals were by far the dominant baseball team in St. Louis, in 1953 their owner, Fred Saigh, was in financial and tax difficulty, and the club did not even own its own ballpark (it was a tenant of the "stepchild" St. Louis Browns in Sportsman's Park). Amid rumors of a move to Milwaukee or Houston, Anheuser-Busch bought the Redbirds, and after the Browns relocated to Baltimore for 1954, it also purchased the ballpark, renaming it Busch Stadium (but only after a failed attempt to name the ground Budweiser Park). The current stadium bearing that name was opened in 2006 replacing the prior Busch Stadium which opened in 1966.

    Busch died at age 90 in St. Louis on September 29, 1989.[2] Seven years later in 1996, Anheuser-Busch sold the Cardinals to a group of investors led by William DeWitt, Jr.

    Robert Edward (Ted) Turner, III:

    Owner: Atlanta Braves, 1976 - 2005; Also served as President

    Born: November 19, 1938, Cincinnati, OH
    Died: Still Alive

    Below is an excerpt from Ted's Wikipedia page
    He purchased the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Hawks in 1976 partially to provide sports programming for his TV station, and similarly created the Goodwill Games in 1986. His relationship with the Braves was somewhat peculiar before the team's success in the 1990s; Turner was one of the more hands-on owners in baseball history, at one point going as far as to give the team's regular manager the day off so Turner could manage. About this experience, he famously said, "Managing isn't that difficult, you just have to score more runs than the other guy". Among other things, Turner suggested the nickname "Channel" for pitcher Andy Messersmith and jersey number 17, in order to promote the television station that aired Braves games. Major League Baseball quickly nixed the idea. Turner Field, which was first used for the 1996 Summer Olympics as Centennial Olympic Stadium and then converted into a baseball-only facility for the Braves shortly thereafter, is named after him.

    Turner bought the Braves in 1976 and owned the team during its run of 14 consecutive division championships from 1991 to 2005 until his Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner and then AOL. Time Warner Chairman Gerald Levin eased Turner out of the management of the company, even with Turner owning more shares than anyone. The team was swallowed up by Time Warner and then sold to Liberty Media in 2007; at the time the team was valued at $450 million.

    Here is some feedback for this Historical Photographic Archive. Anyone who would like to contribute any feedback to these photos, can leave it here at the back of the thread. It will be added to the extensive post of feedback. And many thanks for positive feedback. --Bill Burgess

    Honus Wagner Rules
    Man, Honus has some serious hops!!!

    Keep those Honus photos coming! I always knew he had an explosive type athletic body. You can tell from his sinewy arms and wrists he had. I bet he had extremely low body fat. I wouldn't be surprised if he could dunk a basketball. By the way how did you come across all these photos?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Randy:
    You know what's amazing about that photo too, is we aren't guaranteed that was even the very pinnacle of his leap. That kind of thing happens all the time. You're playing catch with someone, and they let one go a bit high. You just kind of casually leap up to get it. From the wrinkles on the right side of his uni, it almost looks like he has just started to come down.

    Also, no doubt his big ham hands helped him in fielding, and in controlling the gloves of the day. No wonder so many players played with fractured fingers, always needing to use two hands, or just catching throws the wrong way.

    Some of these photos for me just re-affirm the notion that players of old were just plain great baseball athletes, no matter what the era. They just lacked the new technology to make them that much better is all.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Johnny:
    Kind of reminds you of the Lou Gehrig leap over a kneeling DiMaggio's bat.
    And the best part, none of them were on 'the clear' or any other such thing.
    Just natural...okay, maybe a little Rye Whiskey
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    West Coast Orange and Black:
    just now spotted this thread for the first time, bill.

    hat's off to sultan! many thanx, man.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    EdgartotheHall:
    These are just some amazing photos - many thanks for sharing them!!!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DTF955:
    I'm just now looking at some of these; that leap by Honus is amazing! I always figured some of those guys had that great ability, but it really is dramatic when one can see it in action like that. Pretty cool to get one with action, too; wonder if it was taken from the field or what.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Johnny:
    Bill these are great photos and just the tonic for the issues of the day.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Honus Wagner Rules:
    More Honus pics please Bill!
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Randy:
    It's a pleasure to do this for Bill and all you guys. Some great shots so far.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    DTF955:
    Anyway, this is an incredible archive; I wish I'd looked at it earlier. I'll have to search if there's any other archival photo threads. I, personally, haven't seen many of these, period.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Bill Burgess:
    They say one picture can speak 1,000 words. It has long been my desire to share my favorite BB photos. I like full length action shots of players in their primes.

    I was always so disappointed when books had head shots of old ballplayers. I wanted action shots. Showing their form, when they were still good.

    Someday in the future, I will get my own scanner fixed, and tinker with getting the best resolution. Randy is now serving as our technician. He went out and bought a scanner, and I send him my photos. So we're a team.

    We've got lots more coming. Are there any shots here that you've never seen before? That's what I'm trying for. I'm going for that thrill that comes with seeing one of your favorites doing something in action that you've never seen before.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Those are awesome! Except for giving Clemente a bit too long of a career (you must have meant 1962 instead of 1926 :-), some other things that stand out...

    How nimble Connie Mack was in his late 70s to have that high leg kick. Wonder if they'd had them then if you would have heard about him hitting a home run at 75 like Luke Appling did at an oldtimers game. (I don't think they had them, did they?)

    Bob Gibson was just before my time :-( Did he always have that falling away motion after a pitch, looks like he's about to fall down! No wonder he had so much power behind his pitches.

    Some great plays by Clemente and others. Great pan shot of League Park in that Joe Jackson one.

    Fun to have one of DiMaggio extending his streak. Next year I'm hoping to save enough money to fly to one of the new parks (Philly or St. Louis, the latter city of which I've never visited) next year for vacation. Hoping Biggio's still around, be nice to have a shot at witnessing his 3000th if I pick right.

    Bill:

    Many, many thanks to you and Randy for a wonderful job! I love this thread! Wouldn't change a thing about it. For those of us who love the "old days" of baseball, this is a God-sent. I've been through the entire thread a number of times and will continue to do so in the future. And I've referred the thread to friends who love baseball history. This may be the greatest collection of old baseball "black and whites" in existence. If there's a better one, I'd like to see it.

    This is a wonderful accomplishment and you guys should be proud. Thanks again!

    Great Pics as always!

    Thanks especially for the pics of Billy Williams! I've been a Cub fan since 1956, and to me Billy Williams has got to be one of the most under appreciated, unrecognized clutch hitters of all times. Thanks for giving him some recognition. Any Cub fan from my era will always be glad to tell you about the sweet swing of Billy Williams. It was a thing of beauty!
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Gary L;
    Wow! What a great thread. Thanks so much to all you guys for posting these wonderful pictures of the "Old Timers.

    You bet, Bill!

    Thanks mainly to you and a few others, I feel like I've gotten the equivalent of a "Master's Degree" in Basball History right here on Baseball Fever! Some of these threads have been truly outstanding. I used to think I knew a lot about baseball history, but since I've discovered Baseball Fever, I now realize how little I actually knew...But I'm "gobblin' up" everything you guys post! Keep it coming! Thanks again! Gary
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Chancellor;
    The photo project is another fantastic idea of yours! Keep up the great work!
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    VTSoxFan;
    I love the photo archives. it takes a hundred years for them to load on my poky machine, but they're worth the wait.

    Yes, the pictures are priceless. Words are powerful, but photos bring history so much to life, and breathe color into little black-and-white text.

    How many more of these pictures are coming?? These are great.

    Thank you Bill. Thank you Sultan. What a great collection! Emotional.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    wilkerson_rulz
    This is by far the best and most accurate photo gallery on the web!
    Too bad we didn't have a photo search!
    That'd be wicked!!!

    Great work Bill!

    I think it's great.

    The only criticism I have concerns the quality of some of the photos. I've seen some of the same photos on-line in much better condition.

    That includes the clarity.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    RedSoxVT92
    Anyways the Photos are great to look at at. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks for posting them all.

    Bill, I know I've already told you this, but you've done a great job (You too Randy)! Some (very few) of the images aren't of the best visual quality, but I still enjoy them all.

    Great job guys. I especially liked the HOF photo from 1939. How come Ty didn't show up?

    One other tiny (but tedious) suggestion. It might be nice to have an index with links in the first page for the players/teams/individuals pictured. Make easier to find a specific person. Of course, I know that wouldn't exactly be a lot of fun to compile, but its just a suggestion.

    That's one of my favorites too. Did you notice how Ruth has his dress socks rolled down..musta been a scorcher that day. Anyway, I believe Tyrus was stuck in traffic and showed up around 10 minutes after the photos were taken or something.

    There will be a great index for quick access to all you desire.

    I came way with the same impression Bill. Not just from their words, but from their overall tone. There seemed to be a real sense of it being something special, and something to build on for many years to come. I think they understood the impact they would have on future generations of ballplayers.

    Bill, Randy great job. I can never get enough of those pics of players from the past.

    Thanks, Joe. Anything in particular? I was hoping to get some feedback as to what were the most popular.

    Anyone liked the color more than the b/w?

    Bill, Randy any other contributors.... awesome... great, what words can I come up with. What a collection of pics, the players, the parks, this rivals any collection of pics I've seen on the many boards I frequent.

    Bill,

    These are SUCH awesome photographs. #495, the photo of the young Speaker with his naive, innocent smile in his Red Sox uniform, is painful to look at, in light of what I--and, more recently, you--have learned from Timothy Gay's book about Speaker's involvement in throwing Game Six of the 1912 World Series with the Sox.

    But the rest of them are unequivocally fascinating. The Addie Joss photo is great. The young photos of guys like Reggie Jackson and the older players, at times when they were lean, are great to look at. ALL of them--even the painful Speaker photo--are rich with imagery and a kind of innocence.

    What treasures.

    Jim

    Bill,

    The elaborate scroll pattern of which you speak did not appear on the Polo Grounds facade until it was rebuilt after the 1911 fire. There are many hundreds of pre-1911 Polo Gounds photos in, for example, the Library of Congress online Bain collection which show the pre-1911 Polo Grounds with the plain facade.

    Also the Cubs in the 2 photos I re-identified are wearing "away" uniforms unique to 1909 (of course "away" uniforms do not absolutely prove a player is on the road). However, those photos are the Polo Grounds (take a look at #77) and do not at all match the upper deck structure and facade of West Side Grounds (note that the 2nd picture in #84 is Polo Grounds, the 3rd is West Side Grounds)

    One easy way to distinguish West Side Grounds upper deck "boxy" facade (after the 1908 grandstand rebuild - see photo of 1908 WSG below) from that of the Polo Grounds is that for West Side Grounds, there is only one facade "box" between each pair of roof supporting posts. For the Polo Grounds, there are several facade "boxes" between each pair of supporting posts. Also, if the photo has sufficient resolution and the view is more frontal, you will see that the West Side Grounds facade is actually not solid, but is a series for thin posts allowing the front row fans to "see through" the facade.
    ----------------------------------
    BMarlowe:
    Bill,

    Glad to be of help. I really do like what you have set up.

    To add a bit more info, both pictures below are from 1908. The first is WSG 1908, and the "see through" nature of the spindle polled "facade" is evident.

    The second is Polo Grounds 1908 with a completely plain facade. The "boxy" design was added to the facade for the 1909 season and lasted until the April 1911 fire which sent the Giants packing to play their home games at Hilltop Park for the season.

    The fancy scrolled facade was ready for the 1912 season..

    Mr. Burgess,
    Thank you for providing these wonderful photographs of the players and ballparks from yesteryear. My grandfather, who was born in 1907 and who was a New York Giants baseball fan is the one responsible for giving me my great passion and appreciation for baseball's rich history.We used to talk all of the time about McGraw's Giants, The Gas House Gang, The Babe, Connie Mack's A's and Willie Mays, who Pop said was the best baseball player he ever saw.
    These photo's have truly enhanced the memories I have of my Pop who used to tell me that "he pretty much saw them all."
    It's great to be able to pass these memories on to my two sons, (ages 16 and 8) and your photo's really "add vibrancy to the picture." Thanks again!

    How do we go about rating the thread Bill other than what I can say in this post.........................4 stars, where does that come from.

    If 5 stars is the ultimate then that has to be it, how about 5 stars +.
    This looks like a lifetime of work, great work Don't know where Randy is seldom seen as of late but if your out there Randy......kudos......hats off and any other praise to Bill and you. This thread is a masterpiece, can't tell you how many of the pics posted here are now in folders of mine that I saved.

    Great pics, loads of info, the tops.

    Bill Burgess over at Baseball Fever has a wonderful ongoing thread with hundreds of historical baseball photographs, and the best part about it is he's still adding more and more photographs daily.

    Anyhow, some zoners might be interested in some of these great shots so I figured I'd pass along the thread link to any who may be interested.

    Newsweek now has its back archive available back to 1990, and Time Magazine has its back archive to 1923. Newsweek promises to soon start work on going back to 1933 too.

    Time Magazine Archives

    Life Magazine has its photos online. Here is the link.---Life
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Once again, my brothers, I come to you for help. I am seeking team identifications, on page 12/13. Or if anyone can help assist in editing my present team identifications. Some are not identified in teams where most are.

    Also, if anyone can help improve any of the photos here, that would be so appreciated! I am always seeking the original shots online. If anyone can find even one original photo from online, I do backflips. That is the coolest thing in my universe! Or . . . if anyone can improve the photos here with graphic arts skills, whether it is by using lightening/darkening, or adding sepia-toned tinging, or any other skill.

    Thanking you in advance.
    ------------------------------------
    I am posting the index to these photos at the bottom of post #1. If anyone has those books, and can post a better quality of photo than we did, please show me in a PM. I would like to see anything you can do, in terms of more pristine resolution, or lesser cropped original source material.

    Please do NOT be shy. We're looking to improve what we have here!

    In case anyone feels like discussing, critiquing, or requesting any photos.

    It looks like 4.36 if I checked it out correctly, in my book it's 5 stars.
    Could be that there are always some, who really see it as a great piece of work.............just don't give out perfect scores.

    443. Photos Feedback
    Bill,

    I know it is a lot of photos. Don't you think a simple, alphabetic list of players would be easier to decipher? Something like....

    Aaron - 12, 15, 22
    Anson - 3, 4, 8
    Banks - 56, 84, 120

    I'm thinking of ease of use for a casual browser. If I wanna see a picture of Lefty Grove, I know to scroll right to the G part and see what pages he's on. I think you did fantastic and this isn't an insult, but that code sometimes can cause a headache. I will help with it.
    …Ruth would be a valuable asset if he could be fitted in somewhere as a regular. This pitcher is the most natural batsman who has broken into the game since Ty Cobb.” ----------------------------------------------- The Sporting Life 8/14/15
    "Ruth's homers are the longest that I have ever seen. Others hit home runs, too, but we must wait for them to drop before we are sure of them. When Ruth's hits leave the bat, there is no doubt of their mileage." - Connie Mack
