I guess this is a famous photo? I'd never seen it till this morning, when it turned up on my FB wall.

Carter's wiping away a tear as Dawson is honoured by the (then still relatively new) Nationals franchise.

Brendon Barynov (bbflicks on Instagram) is an MLB photographer who mainly photographs the Giants and visiting teams. Some of his usual work:https://i.postimg.cc/Sx2pF42F/IMG-7051.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/FHMXh63f/IMG-7054.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/L4Dqhty4/IMG-7055.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/c4Jv3vjR/IMG-7056.jpghttps://i.postimg.cc/YqyhzpKJ/IMG-7057.jpgJP one particularly cool cos his dad is this guy (who I don’t know but clemenza might).Anyway recently he’s been using a disposable camera for shots and the aesthetic really works: something about combining the goofiness of players when they see a disposable camera, which many people associate with fun/informality, with the older/grainer look to the pictures making them look timeless.

Sorry, missed that--don't know much about the CFL (my friend's brother knows so much, he's been hired by the league for a panel charged with naming the 150 greatest players ever).

We lived down the road from Denny McLain when I was a young child, there were always references to the Tigers around my house, so I was kind of aware of baseball, but this is the first picture (and play) I can remember:

I guess not really a portrait, but it's what immediately came to mind when I read the thread title. It's etched in my mind.

Here's a portrait to make up for it.

McLain is fascinating. I tried to get a filmmaker friend interested in exploring a possible documentary on him 10 years ago, but we never pursued it. Still alive, 79.

Rudi--along with Fingers--is in the Reggie documentary on Prime, the three of them sitting around reminiscing.
McLain was the dark side to the beloved Mickey Lolich.

I collect those postcards--I'm right up to date as of the 2023 group. I look forward to purchasing my Notably Bad Whitey card sometime soon. (You know who else was a pretend architect? George Costanza.)
