Connie Mack photograph, probably 1942

Dateprobably 1942

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Connie Mack captured looking straight ahead with a serious expression on his face. Mack holds both hands up on either side of his face. He wears a catcher's mitt on his left hand. A newspaper clipping is affixed to the back of the photograph (not shown) and states, "Still In The Game At 80 Connie Mack (above), who will be 80 years old Dec. 23, poses with a catcher's glove as though he were ready for whatever 1943 might pitch to him. The manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, who has been in baseball for six decades, predicts the St. Louis Browns will be the team to beat next year." Based on the newspaper clipping this photograph was probably taken in 1942.
