|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Historic baseball images by Leslie Jones Mike Cohea, Photographer Providence | RI | USA | Posted: 11:09 AM on 04.08.11 ->> Some really interesting and rarely seen baseball photos by Leslie Jones, a cameraman for the Boston Herald-Traveler from 1917-'56. Great access led to some really nice angles of the action mixed in with off-the-field photos, including photos of Babe Ruth. Pretty neat. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/photos/photos_galleries/historic_baseball.../  This post is:  Informative (4) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's really cool that you can still go to Fenway Park today and see the same backgrounds that are found in these vintage photos ...  This post is:  Informative (1) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Quite a few, I bet.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Here's a follow-up: does anyone know where I can find a photo(s) that shows a photographer on the field taking photo's at a baseball game? I've told people about this and nobody believes it used to be that way. Several of Jones' images are clearly taken from somewhere on the field, and I know I've seen images of photographers positioned near the on-deck circle, etc., before, but I can't seem to find any Thanks in advance.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
