Classic Baseball Pics

With the World Series just hours away, here's a look - via Time - at some classic baseball pics from the early 20th Century, including two iconic shots of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. They're all from the recently released The Big Show: Charles M. Conlon's Golden Age Baseball Photographs. Realize that when they took action shots in those days they had no autofocus or even a reflex finder, but only big, clunky Speed Graphics.

And if you want to impress your friends or win a bar bet you can always point out that it now seems likely that Lou Gehrig did not die of Lou Gehrig's disease. How weird is that?

P.S. I pick the Cards.
