Picture of the Day: Say Cheese

From the Library of Congress Flickr feed, here’s a public domain picture of Germany Schaefer hard at work taking photos for what are probably future pictures of the day.

Picture of the Day: Calisthenics

This image is from the State Library of Florida and has no known copyright restrictions. It’s of the Brooklyn Dodgers doing calisthenics at Spring Training in 1949.

 

Picture of the day: Reggie. Spring Training. 1973.

Today’s picture is from the Flickr stream of “Barnkat” and is used under a Creative Commons license.

In it, we see Reggie Jackson, in all of his afro’d glory, talking to Bill North during Spring Training, 1973.

Picture of the Day: Early Spring Training

Is it a problem that I could identify Justin Verlander and I think Phil Coke based simply on Verlander’s profile and I-Think-Coke’s facial hair (unless Todd Jones is now a coach for the Tigers or something…)?

Picture of the day: Connie Mack didn’t need a uniform

Another picture from the Library of Congress Flickr stream. This time, it’s of Connie Mack, who didn’t wear a uniform during his long managerial career, instead famously opting for a fancy suit. Can you imagine if Joe Girardi or Charlie Manuel did this?

Picture of the day: Medicine Ball

Today’s picture is a random little thing from Library of Congress Flickr stream of a medicine ball being sent to Reds manager Joe Tinker, circa 1913.

Weird, huh?

Image of the day: Happy Birthday

I believe Google speaks for all of us here:

Happy Birthday, Jackie Robinson.

Picture of the day: Larry Kopf

Today, I just picked a random picture from the Library of Congress Flickr feed (meaning no copyright restrictions). I got this picture of Larry Kopf, who played with Cleveland, Philadelphia (as seen in the photo), Cincinnati and the Boston Braves during his career.
