Reflections on Old School Baseball

Recently, my dad has been going through my grandparent's old picture slides and scanning them into his computer. The other day he came across these amazing pictures and emailed them to me. Top left is a picture taken of Crosley Field in Cincinnati during a game in 1961. Top right is the same game down at field level. The player on the right (#20) is Frank Robinson who won the MVP for the National League that year. Bottom left is Yankee Stadium during a game in 1960. You can see Mickey Mantle trotting around second after hitting a home run. Bottom right is the scoreboard at Yankee Stadium. If you look closely you can see "Mantle Home Run Was Number 8 of Season".
