What about Griffith Stadium? Clark Griffith was a heck of a ballplayer before he became an exec and owner.

Yes! And some great photos! The Hank and Luke Easter are two of my favs. The Doby is a photo of him from his Newark Eagle days, if I’m not mistaken. Jackie running the bases.

A little known third baseman, right? It would be a year-ish before he made the switch the 2B.

I can’t keep all of the different sparrows straight. One of my buds is great at identifying most birds. He really threw me for a loop a few years back when he responded with a “swamp sparrow” for a pic I sent over. Threw in the towel at that point!

@billpearch.bsky.social I’ve identified a handful of the players and I’m 99% certain the first guy in the middle row (left to right) is Pat Collins. He was one of the Yankees’ catchers from 26-28. He lost his job when a young fella by the name of Bill Dickey showed up!
