In honor of #BabeRuthDay, here's Grampa Yogi and the Babe at Sportsman's Park in St. Louis on June 19, 1948. Note Grampa's road uni: no pinstripes! 🙏⚾️❤️
#Yankees#MLB
RIP, Carl Erskine, 97. The #Brooklyn@Dodgers star, in action at Ebbets Field, won 122 games, inc 20 in 1953, tossed 2 career no-hitters, a 14-K gem in '53 WS & helped club to WS title in '55. More on his life & legacy in @sabr BioProject sabr.org/bioproj/person…
#OTD in 1940, Bob Feller threw the first Opening Day no-hitter in history. Here’s my painting of the man firing to Joe Kuhel during that chilly afternoon at Comiskey Park. Proud to have this hanging at Progressive Field, home of the @CleGuardians.
RIP Whitey Herzog, 92. A scrappy OF/1B w .257 BA in 8-yr career w 4 teams, he built his HoF resume as a skipper, leading @Royals to 3 AL West crowns in 70s & @Cardinals to 3 World Series and 1 title in 80s. More on life & legacy in @sabr BioProject sabr.org/bioproj/person…
RIP Ken Holtzman, 78. He became 1st @Cubs hurler in live-ball era to toss 2 no-hitters; later won 59 games & helped @Athletics to 3 straight WS titles, 1972-74. 174 career wins. More on his career & legacy in @sabr BioProject sabr.org/bioproj/person…
#OTD in 2020, Al Kaline passed away at the age of 85. Perhaps the greatest Tiger of all-time, he was also one of Detroit’s most beloved ballplayers. Here’s my painting of him as a young man during his first full season, June of 1954 at Yankee Stadium.
RIP Pat Zachry, 71, who went 14-7 & tossed 204 IP w 2.74 ERA in 1976 to win NL Rookie of Year & help @Reds to win the WS. The next yr he was sent to #Mets in blockbuster trade for Tom Seaver. More in @sabr BioProject sabr.org/bioproj/person…

#OTD in 1907, Luke Appling was born in High Point, NC. He was a solid and consistent player (despite his nickname), making 7 All-Star teams and winning 2 batting titles. Here’s my painting of him with the Chicago White Sox in 1933, based on the photography of Charles Conlon.
Crosley Field, Cincinnati, April 16, 1957 - Cardinals great Stan Musial has his eye on a fastball delivered by journeyman pitcher Johnny Klippstein (played for eight MLB teams) of the Redlegs on Opening Day. Stan the Man went a perfect 4 for 4 on the day as St Louis cruised 13-4
Yankee Stadium, Bronx, April 18, 1923 - Aerial view of the first opening day at the fabled Yankee Stadium, a reported 74,000 rooters are on hand (more likely 60-65K) to see Babe Ruth christen his new house with a 3-run home run in the Yankees 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox
Yankees infielders in 1938: Knickerbocker, Dahlgren, Rolfe, Gordon, Gehrig and Crosetti. The photo was taken at Yankee Stadium before the World Series. The club wore their road uniforms for the team photo to show "New York."
Boston Americans #SpringTraining, West End Park, Little Rock, AR, 1907. L-R Tom Railing, Ed Killian, Ralph Glaze, Tex Pruiett, bar owner/Royal Rooter Michael McGreevy (mustache), Cy Young, Rube Kroh, trainer Charlie Green in front. Young won 21 in '07 for 90-loss squad #RedSox
