Merry Christmas!
All of us here at Old Time Baseball Photos and Baseball History Comes Alive – that would be Ronnie and Gary – want to wish our readers a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. And to all our Jewish friends, a very Happy Hanukkah.
This is also a good time to extend a special word of thanks to our great contributors who have added so much to the quality of our page this year: Author Ron Waldo, Kyle McNary, and Kevin Trusty.
And, of course, a huge, heartfelt “thank you” goes out to our expert colorizer, our crack baseball researcher, and our good friend, Don Stokes. Don has developed a large, well-deserved following of his own from his beautiful colorizations – and we couldn’t be happier for him.
We’re very proud that our Old Time Baseball Photos Facebook page has grown to over 60K readers this year. We’re grateful for the support given us from our loyal readers, and we’re humbled by the positive feedback we’ve always received. That just seems to make our efforts worthwhile.
What could be a more fitting way for all of us who love baseball history and old baseball photos to celebrate the Christmas season than with this beautiful Babe Ruth colorization by Don Stokes. I included a link to the actual footage of the event where Babe played Santa for 50 polio victims at the Astor Hotel in New York. I’m not sure how the kids reacted to seeing Babe’s beard falling off, though. From the look on the little girl’s face in the photo, she apparently wasn’t sure what to make of it. Oh well, that’s the Babe!
We all know of the Babe’s fondness for children. It’s a big reason why he became such a beloved figure in American history. All these years later, we still cherish memories like this one that he left us. There’ll never be another Babe!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from the “Crew” at Old-Time Baseball Photos: Ronnie and Gary
