I am seeking these photos of Hank Aaron in color. If anyone has seen either one, could you let me know where? Or post either one here? I would be so appreciative.

To all those following this photo thread:

Eric (Bench 5) has just sent me a photo resource beyond compare. Here's the link.

http://pro.corbis.com/default.aspx

This site is simply amazing. One simply types in the name of the player you're seeking and WOW! KaBoom! The photos have the clarity of original photos, not copies, and many are less cropped than I've ever seen before.

Don't forget to right-click on the photos to enlarge them, and use your cursor to draw down the line across the screen, to enlarge the viewing area.

I am now able to replace some of the shots on this archive with original, uncropped shots.

Here's a hint. When you first view the photos, they have a water mark impressed on them. But if you register, for free, the water mark is removed, and they are ready for down loading. Hope you guys check this out, cuz it's bangin & poppin.---Bill

Thanks on that link WB. They look great and those pics are not your "typical" pics on yahoo and google. The old black and white shots are very impressive.

Original caption: Wherever you go, the fans are the same, and those at Del Webb Field in Modesto are no exception. They still dome out to see the stars of the game. A little more avid than most perhaps, was a couple who hoisted their young daughter to the top of the fence--the better to see the star batters of the New York Yankees, Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. The Yanks along with the Giants made the bus trip here to sharpen up their game in preparation for the 6th World Series tilt at San Francisco's Candlestick Park.
