Walt Dropo...and a few portraits.

Thanks TNFoto for all those great ChiSox pics !! Really appreciated !! I was wondering if there could be an identity error in the 1st pic of Walt Dropo's " a few portraits" . That pic, named "Walt_Dropo_(1955_White_Sox)_4" seems to be Jungle Jim Rivera. Just asking...sorry if I'm wrong...

You're absolutely right...and don't be sorry!

The photo came from Life magazine, and was improperly identified in the caption. I didn't do my due diligence--my bad! I'll move the photo to a new Rivera portrait post.

Thanks!

Some portraits...

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 10:24 PM

The only "action" shots I have come from baseball cards, so let's start with portraits:

...and some smaller portraits...

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 10:30 PM

...and some posed-action baseball card images.

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 10:42 PM

No action shots here, just some wartime portraits.

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 10:48 PM

Here is the full-length version of the photo I enlarged last year.

I only have one true Torgeson/White Sox action shot. Note Al Smith on deck in the background.

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 11:09 PM

...and several portraits...

tnfoto · 08-11-2011, 11:11 PM

...here re-cropped for game use, with one more thrown in for good measure.

Sorry to interfere again, but could the 3rd pic on this set (titled "Sammy_Esposito_(White_Sox)_10") be one of Bill Melton instead ? Other than that, many thanks for your great photos! Guy

As before, you're absolutely right. Thanks again for keeping me honest.

Both Esposito and Melton wore #14 for the White Sox, but the image in question (removed above, mis-identiefied on eBay and shown uncropped below) is certainly Melton, with the sleeve patch dating the photo to 1968.

Here is the full-length version of the Schalk image I posted a few years ago. It's the only Schalk/White Sox image I have.

tnfoto · 08-12-2011, 12:30 AM

A couple of batting photos...

tnfoto · 08-12-2011, 12:32 AM

...and some portraits.

tnfoto · 08-12-2011, 01:06 AM

Batting, and posed with bats...
