This is some work of art, thank you BSMILE. Really digging the great shots of the parks, some I have never seen in that much fullness. More old park pics to add to my collection.

I'm so glad to see that all of you enjoy these images as much as I do. So, I dug up some more. This is a spring traing picture of the 1936 Chicago White Sox (taken on March 22). There was a big tear in this originally...but I worked on it for a while and you can't tell where it was now. More to come later...
Cheers! ~B

BSMILE, what do you use to repair damaged pictures. I have Adobe 3.0 and Photo Shop an upgrade. I use the older Adobe 3.0, easier ro work with and you can restore photos that look like a lost cause, 3.0 is great but always looking for other methods.

"BSmile, what do you use to repair damaged pictures....."

Well, I've tried (and own) a large variety of editing tools. I do have Adobe CS3, but my favorite program (which I used on all these pics) is Corel PaintShop Pro X. CS3 is great too....I'm just more used to how ProX works...it's more comfortable to me. In fact, I just used it on this next image. While it's technically not a "panoramic", it is a very large image of the 1905 Cleveland Naps. You'll notice the handwritten numbers on the players...the note found with this picture says the following: "Atlanta, GA, 1905, Dear Sir, The Players that are numbered are those who are now playing with the Cleveland American League Ball Club. The others having been sold or released to other clubs.

Greetings -

This is an amazing picture. Harry "Slippery" Eells is a relative. I have been working on family genealogy/history and finding anything on his career has been nearly impossible. Coming across this picture was truly by chance and yet amazing.

I am always seeking any information related to his short career when he played with the 1906 Cleveland Naps.

Is there someway that I could get a clear copy of the picture, and any related notes and history related to the picture?

Thanks
Cal Eells

Cal,

I don't have any additional notes or history for this picture.
This copy of it is posted in its original size and state, so that's about as clear as you're probably going to find it. Obviously, you could copy the photo here and save it to your hard drive or disk and print one for yourself...or bring the file to somebody who could print a really professional copy. Good Luck! ~B

Thanks for taking the time to provide for me what information you have.

If I could impose on two more things.... I know I am asking a lot....

Can you scan the "Note" for me so I can include it in my documentation?

Also - can you provide me with some info on who own/posses the photo. I would like to give the proper credit in the notations for the research. You can always reach my at my email so it wont be "Public" - [email protected]

(Note - If the owner ever decides to part with the picture, I would love a chance to add it to the Eells Family Collection.)

Thank you again. I know the "love and attention to detail" that has been put into all these images posted. They truly are the work of someone who is passionate about not only the sport, but the history and lives that are captured on those brief moments.

You are a true historian.

Cal

I sent you a personal e-mail with some details that you might find useful.
Best of luck to you in your quest! If I find anything else, I'll let you know.

Cheers! ~B

OK thanks for the info, I may check out those you mention, then again I may Just stick with Adobe 3.0. For what I it really does the job.

I'm curious, BS, about someting I see in most of these photo's. Are some players wearing filhy pants, or is that shadowing, perhaps a result of the film & developing process of the time ?

"I'm curious, BS, about someting I see in most of these photo's. Are some players wearing filhy pants, or is that shadowing, perhaps a result of the film & developing process of the time?"

Well....in the specific case of that 1920 Indians pic, some of the guys are just plain dirty (from playing I'd assume). I'm sure shadowing and image development procedures of the day might make the players in general seem "dirtier". On the other hand, I think that back then, their uniforms were simply more dirty than we're used to today. Plus, they were wearing old, heavy wool...even in the summer...and they probably didn't get washed every day either. You get the idea.....

Ditto that.

I've never seen images like this of the old parks. Makes you feel like you're ambling around inside them. Very cool pictures !

Thanks again BS

I always think that it's weird that "Babe" Adams was considered to be handsome enough to earn that nickname (he was tagged with that moniker by female fans, whereas Babe Ruth got his from teammates due to his immature behavior!). He always looks kind of creepy to me...well, I'm not a gal, they must have seen him differently through female eyes.

Seeing the overflow crowds on the field in the old parks always makes me wonder if any fans were ever hurt by OFers crashing into them in the pursuit of long flies, or if they would ever run out and interfere with a ball during a critical moment of play. Being in SRO at Fenway yesterday also reminded me of those old scenes...
