Cool picture....I took it.

Cool picture of Crosley Field from the Sun Deck. I took this photo two days after the last game there in June of 1970.

Since then I've found another version of the photo with the original wire tag which confirms the September 9th date.

I deleted my photos of Rube Waddell's gravesite under the impression I could find a better place for them. Alas, I couldn't, so I'm reposting them here. I subsequently found out that another Hall-of-Famer is also buried at the very same cemetery here in San Antonio - Ross Youngs. That's got to be a first, no? Anyway I went out to Mission Burial Park last Friday and yesterday to commune with the dead. Rube was born on Friday the 13th and died on April Fool's Day, 1914, at age 37. Youngs died at age 30. May they rest in peace.
