Also from the current RMY lot.

Many of Pope's pics are from his time in Baltimore, and while we do have that one TV pic on page 1008, that's in road gear (as it was taken at Yankee Stadium) and he's in a torqued-around finishing-the-swing pose. Here we see him properly posed, in the Tribe's home togs:

Either 1954 or 1956. (Chief Wahoo wasn't part of the cap before 1954, and Pope spent 1955 in Baltimore.) Rather surprised that UPI was taking portraits in Cleveland, but glad to have it.
