My sister's Dorm was right in one of those buildings looking over the Field, when I visted her there I had no idea that i was looking at the old stands of a park Babe Ruth and many other greats played in!

These are all cool (I love the button), but this last one of big Ed is off the charts.

thank for the kind words.

:think: Interesting to see the profile head on the right sleeve. I thought for a second the negative had been flipped, but the "B" is straight and you can see that the "Braves" and tomahawk are right.

I love the striped socks. The Braves sported them again a few years ago when Mike Remlinger was with the team. He and Chipper wore them high like that. Mike liked the stripes, Chipper didn't and Chipper is going to win most battles like that. Too bad, it's a good look.

[penncentralpete]

2 caps.....both Braves

that's my college (Northeastern), though it looks different now and the plaque saying it was braves field is over a bit towards the other quad. I love looking at the pictures of what was though

[BSmile]

I discovered a new image of the 1935 Boston Braves in spring training recently. I compared it to an image that I already had and discovered that they were snapped a mere seconds apart (milliseconds really)!!!
Of course, they were different sizes and taken from a slightly different angle. So, I played around resizing/cropping/contrasting them etc., and came up with this...what may be the only animated image of this moment. What I did was essentially make what's called a "stereoscopic" animation, using the .GIF image format. It has a cool 3-D effect (I think). I've done a bunch of other vintage baseball ones...from flip-books and pictures. I might start a brand-new thread to showcase them. Enjoy! ~B

[BSmile]

Here are in order:
1914 Boston Braves Ring (which was made from a pendant given by the team)
1948 Boston Braves Ring
1957 Milwaukee Braves Ring
1958 Milwaukee Braves Ring (not the best quality pic, but the only one I've ever seen)

Nice picture of Warren Spahn currently on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/WARREN-SPAHN-Original-4x6-Photo-1942-GEORGE-BURKE-HOF_W0QQitemZ200373777313QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVintag e_Sports_Memorabilia?hash=item2ea73533a1&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14). It's listed as 1942, but the socks are from 1940 (http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=nl_1940_boston.gif&Entryid=635).

I love that monogram. And the socks.
