1940s Detroit Baseball Snapshots (119) with Many Signed
Incredible leather bound photo album created by a Detroit Tigers baseball fan in the 1940's. A talented amateur photographer, it seems Miss Akroyd had her camera with her at every game. She managed to snap beautiful quality photos of the era's biggest names in baseball and get them signed. The book itself is NM, with nearly perfect pages bound solidly within the leather cover. (The only pages that show edge wear are the loose extra pages that have not been used.) The photos are all in nm to mint condition and have been carefully affixed to the black pages with mounting corners & the player names neatly printed below. One page has been ripped out and is missing, a small numbers of photos are missing, and there are some in the front that have not been mounted (including Babe Ruth and Phil Rizzuto). Most of the pages are full with images that include: Opening Day 1942; Steve O'Neill (signed); Del Baker; (3)Charlie Gehringer (1 signed "Chas); (4)Barney McCoskey (2 signed); (2)Bruce Campbell (1 signed); "Hoot" Evers (signed);Billy Sullivan (signed); (2)"Birdie" Tebbetts (1 signed); (2)Tom Bridges (1 signed); (2)Rudy York (1 signed); Diz Trout (signed); (2)Virgil Trucks (1 signed); (2) Ned Harris (signed); (3)Jimmy Bloodworth (1 signed); (3)Johnny Gorsica (2 signed); Billy Hitchcock (signed); Dixie Parsons; Roger Cramer; Johnny Lipon; Hal Newhouser(signed); Rip Radcliff (signed); Jack Wilson, Roy Henshaw; Hal Manders (signed); (2) Murray Franklin (1 signed); Harvey Riebe (signed); Wes Mueller & Bob Patrick; Schoolboy Rowe (signed); Al Benton (signed); (2)Mike Higgins (1 signed); Johnny Gorsica & Hal Manders (signed); Tuck Stainback (signed);Hal White; (2)Dutch Meyer (1 signed); Hank Greenberg; Don Ross; Joe Cronin (signed); Heber Newsome; Pete Fox (signed); Johnny Pesky; Bob Doerr (signed); Dom DiMaggio; Franklin Croucher; Sid Hudson (signed); Bill Zuber; Dutch Leonard(signed); George Case (signed); (2) Joe McCarthy (1 signed); Marius Russo Bill Dickey (signed); Charlie Keller; Phil Rizzuto; Ernie Bonham (signed); John Lindell (signed); Norman Branch; Joe DiMaggio, Jerry Priddy, Marvin Bruer, Jimmie Dykes (signed); Monte Stratton; Lou Boudreau (signed); Ray Mack (signed); Tom Ferrick; George Susce(signed); Jeff Heath; Roy Weatherby; Chet Laabs (signed); Harland Clift; Ty Tyson (signed); World Series 1940; Pat Mullin, Don Ross; & Buck Newsome (signed).
