Fetch Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 "Iron Horse" Lou Gehrig holding the ducks on the left (second man to left of "The Babe") and, of course, Babe Ruth is holding the ducks on the right. A VERY RARE photo to have both players together during a leisure moment and not in uniform. THAT DUCK HUNT TOOK PLACE IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORINA ... IN 1927 THAT WAS THE YEAR BABE HIT 60 HOMERS... GEHRIG HIT 47 HOMERS THAT YEAR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I am quite certain that that's Al Pearson to Babe's left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Man, he looks old then!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm talking about the younger looking guy behind Al Pearson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I am quite certain that that's Al Pearson to Babe's left. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apparently the picture was taken just prior to Al buying his new hat. While it certainly looks like Al, I'm a little skeptical since I don't see a keg anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCM Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) I believe that's PCM in back of, and to the left of the Babe. Edited June 7, 2005 by PCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Too bad you can't see the onion on my belt. It was the fashion of the day. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your memory must be worse than we thought PCM. I did some Googling, and the onion on the belt was popular in ought-six, not dickity-nine. Used the old language for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
