From the estate of Boston Red Sox photographer George Woodruff. There is a wonderful “insider” element to these as many were shot in the bowels of Fenway. All 8x10”. 1) Stunning images of historic Fenway Park during the Williams years of the 1950s. Includes rare and unique overhead shots of Fenway during 1950s remodeling and fabulous action game shots with huge crowds teeming from the Stadium’s midst. 2) Magnificent Jimmie Foxx brandishing bat with Lefty Grove, Lou Boudreau and Bobby Doerr. 3) Marvelous posed player series are the same as used in the Red Sox yearbooks. 4) Great pure Red Soc material with lots of Jackie and other great players. 5) Unusual things like Tom Yawkey giving award, Joe Cronin in his Red Sox office, and the announcing booth w/Curt Gowdy. 6) Personal Woodruff material like on the field watching Bob Lemon warm up for Indians with shutterbugs snapping away! Even his business card. 7) Gorgeous Jimmy Piersall’s, some of which are among the most famous photos of him ever taken. Included classic throwing still life framed in white, definitive bust pose and more. EX.
