    Cleveland Municipal Stadium, July 9, 1948 - 42-year old rookie Satchel Paige making his MLB debut for the Indians in the 5th inning vs St Louis Browns. If I ever did a Top 10 list of greatest baseball photos, this one would make it. It's an poignant image that stirs many emotions

    Yankee Stadium, Bronx, 1923 - Been a while since I posted this beauty, perhaps my favorite photo of this ballpark shot right before it would open on April 18, 1923. There is an temporary "Yankee Stadium" banner on front and top right of photo you can see steam from a locomotive

    Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, Sept 2, 1963 - A Sandy Koufax pitch is lost in the crowd and brilliantly captured by legendary photographer Neil Leifer. Koufax would strike out 13 Houston batters to notch his 21st win of the season, arguably his finest year ever, in Dodgers 7-3 win

    Happy Birthday to Hammerin' Hank who turns 85 today. In this photo taken in 1951, a 17-year-old Hank Aaron is about to leave home to play with Negro League Indianapolis Clowns. During his short stint there (26 games) he hit .366, belted 5 HRs, knocked in 33 runs and stole 9 bases
