One of our newer forumers offered to share some photos, but didn't have enough posts to start a new one. Babe, this thread's for you -- post away.

I've already told you some of this stuff, but I really want to hear the story behind Cobb and Mantle (since I didn't even realize they'd ever met).

I'm also fascinated by the picture of Satchel in a Yankee uniform (Alexander set). Hadn't realized he ever wore one -- from what you told me, it has to be the Black Yankees, but I didn't know they had identical uniforms.

Have to tell me the story behind the Cobb and Mathewson photo, as well. They never faced each other, to my knowledge, so I'd like to know the circumstances of this meeting.

And the one of the young Eddie Collins is just great.

Here's a little info behind the questions you've asked, as soon as I get more time I'll go into more details.

Ty Cobb visits Christy Mathewson, New York, NL during 1911 World Series.

Ty with Mickey in the dugout, 1960

Also I dont have much information on the Satchal Paige picture with Grover, but as soon as I do, i'll let you know.

I'm sure there's a lot of Babe Ruth fans here, so I guess its time for me to show off the Babe Ruth photos.
