Walt Streuli (Colorized & Custom)
If you know my stuff from Baseball-Birthdays, you know I have this aversion to colorizing something that someone else has already colorized. Not saying I never do it, but I prefer not to. Seems kinda disrespectful, in a weird way.
So there's a gorgeous, crisp, clean B&W of Streuli that was posted at Baseball-Birthdays eons ago--exactly the kind of image you'd want for a colorization. So, naturally, it's been colorized by many.
The Elder postcard doesn't do anything for me. So I grabbed this one off of eBay. You can see right away that it's a poor source image. But at least I haven't seen it colorized before (and, if it has been, I don't want to see it, thank you).
Had to reconstruct the stands, sorta; didn't really put too much effort into that. And, it didn't end up looking like it, but that is navy, not black, for the cap, etc. An obligatory "not my best work, but consider the source" and here it is.
