President Harding and the Babe!

More to come....

[Old Sweater]

Great pictures. Look at the size of those paws of Ruth, compared to Ted Williams and President Harding. One sure sign of natural strength is big hands.

[RickD]

These are great. Where did you find these pics? The one of Ruth in a suit, he just looks so uncomfortable. In most of these he doesn't look fat but in one of those, he looks like he is ready to pop!

[Mudge]

Some interesting uniforms he has on.

[Wookie]

Wow he looked fat in that picture with Teddy Ballgame.

[Mickey Mental]

Nice pictures Corey, thanks.

In that Hotel Commodore picture, the meal must have been terrible. :)

[daddies4angels]

He such a big guy lol. It looks like the last photo is Photoshopped lol

[dabynsky]

He such a big guy lol. It looks like the last photo is Photoshopped lol

The one with Harding? I thought the same thing.

[daddies4angels]

I know he was sick but he looks to small on that last pic.

No picture of him beating up a one armed fan?

Cobb was a jerk...

nice pics though.

[catman]

Cobb had a very bad reputation, but people that actually took the time to get to know him said he was really not a bad guy.

More to come!

[CoreyR]

I know Ty Cobb was a huge jerk with a bad reputation. In some photos as you can see, it seems like he can be a very cool person.

[CoreyR]

I will be updating this daily!

[Mickey Mental]

I have a stat book that I just keep a lot of different things in. It's hand written and pretty shabby looking. On the cover I have that picture of Ted Williams when he played for the Minneapolis Millers. It's a picture from 1938.

[Mickey Mental]

I wasn't around when these pictures were taken but I still find myself looking in the background to see if I know anyone. :)

[CoreyR]

Wow, thanks for that info! I'd love to see a scan of that some day. That is by far my favorite picture of Ted Williams!

Nice. Really nice. BTW those two sitting in the middle of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris are/were Doris Day and Gary Grant.

I didn't add that to the caption, but learned about who those two were yesterday. Pretty neat picture!

I had to check for this because I didn't expect this to be what turned out to be Tiger Stadium.

Does anyone else find it a little dis-concerning that someone decided to take a photo of Babe Ruth in a bath tub? That's, a little strange to say the least! haha

I know Ty Cobb was a huge jerk with a bad reputation. In some photos as you can see, it seems like he can be a very cool person.

I've always felt that deep down, Cobb was a good guy. He just didn't know how to behave in social situations.

Random fact...Who were the only three players to attend Ty Cobb's funeral?

- Ray Schalk - Starting catcher on the 1919 Chicago White Sox. Retired from baseball in 1929.

- Mickey Cochrane - Regarded as one of the greatest catchers to ever play the game.

- Nap Rucker - Pitcher for the Brooklyn Superbas in the early 1900's.

Charles Albert “Chief” Bender while he pitched and managed with New Haven of the Eastern League sometime in 1920 or '21. I guess the circus must have been in town. Bender was elected to the Hall Of Fame by the Committee on Veterans in 1953 and was enshrined on August 9, 1954, three months after his death.

Hack Wilson while with the Brooklyn Dodgers at Braves Field in Boston in 1934. Wilson played 12 seasons with the New York Giants, Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. His 1930 season with the Cubs is one of the best single-season hitting performances in baseball history: He hit 56 home runs, a National League record that stood for 68 years, and drove in 191 runs, a record that went unchallenged for 80 years. Wilson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979.

At 19, Hank Greenberg was the youngest player in the majors when he was called up to the Detroit Tigers in September 1930. He played in one game that season and only went to the plate once with no hit. in his second full season he hit .339 and helped the Tigers reach their first World Series in 25 years. Greenberg was a five-time All-Star and earned the American League's Most Valuable Player award twice. He was enshrined in Cooperstown in 1956.

Difficult to date this one because the White Sox wore the same uniform for so many years in the 1920's (Unusual for a club at that time. The uniforms were changing all the time) I'm best guessing it's around 1922 or '23 based on his age here. If anyone knows different, please tell us.

By 1956 back problems and leg injuries caught up with him and he retired at just 32. He might have been the greatest third baseman ever had he played a full career.

Hal Chase while playing for the Buffalo Buffeds of the Federal League in 1915.

Chase was a great hitter and had the reputation of a peerless defensive player, but his legacy is tainted by a litany of corruption. He allegedly gambled on baseball games, and also engaged in suspicious play in order to throw games in which he played. Rumours of him being the middleman between the players and the gamblers in the Black Sox Scandal have always existed but have never been confirmed.

Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig included Chase in their book The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time.

Long time Baltimore Oriole Manager Earl Weaver. I have no idea when this was taken or what he was doing at the time.

Weaver started his minor league managerial career in 1956 with the unaffiliated Knoxville Smokies in the South Atlantic League. Maybe it's from then!

I am making this thread a sticky as well.

Boston Red Sox legend Ted Williams lends support to young slugger Jackie Jensen in this 1958 photo. Jensen was the American League's Most Valuable Player that year after hitting 35 home runs and leading the league with 122 runs batted in. Respected for his throwing arm, he won a Gold Glove Award and led the AL in assists and double plays twice. He retired in his early thirties as baseball expanded westward due to an intense fear of flying.

Washington Senators Manager Gil Hodges takes a cut before a game with the Minnesota Twins at District of Columbia Stadium (now RFK Stadium), circa 1965. After 11 games with the Mets in 1963, during which he batted .227 with no homers, the injury plagued former Brooklyn Dodgers star first baseman was traded to the Washington Senators so he could replace Mickey Vernon as manager. Hodges immediately announced his retirement from playing in order to focus on his new job.

Frank "Home Run" Baker earned his nickname during the 1911 World Series when he hit a go-ahead home run off Rube Marquard in Game two, and a ninth inning game tying home run off Christy Mathewson in game three. By dead ball standards Baker was a great slugger. in 1912 he led the American League with ten home runs while only three AL teams hit more than twenty during the entire season. Baker was elected to the Hall Of Fame in 1955 and Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig included him in their 1981 book The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time.
