- Love this shot of Willie Mays when he returned to Polo Grounds
- Home plate marker for Griffith Stadium, home of the Washington Senators from 1911 to 1960, lies in a hallway inside Howard University Hospital. Mickey Mantle (some argue) hit the longest home run in baseball history from this spot on April 17, 1953.
- Tony Gwynn had more 4-hit games than he did 2-strikeout games.
- Incredible color shot of Jackie Robinson warming up before a game at Ebbets Field in 1955.
- Beautiful shot down the third baseline at old Comiskey Park.
