Rob, by the very well dosed editing/colorization, Walter got a nowadays appearance. You've made the original B&W image to a priceless and timeless one. Another proof of your great talent, my friend!

Old baseball photos like this always remind me of Leroy "Satchel" Paige who, along with a number of other colored players, helped to brake the color barrier in baseball well before Jackie Robinson did it in 1947. His integrated 1935 team, the Churchills, right here in Bismarck, ND, won the 1935 National Baseball Conference semi-pro baseball tournament in Wichita, Kansas. Paige played on many teams in his career, at many levels of professional status. At the time that this fellow, Walter, was playing for the Washington Nationals, major league players were earning $9,000 annually (for players like Ty Cobb), while the average American was making $2,500. He should be smiling a lot more, don't you think? He certainly would be today, when the average salary for pro baseball players is over $4 million. He'd have a grin that would circle his entire head!

Did I really say "brake"? It's been a long night.

Woody Harrelson meets Crispin Glover. With attitude. And razor burn. And a cup made from a hamster cage. Sorry, I made that part up. The rest is true though. Or at least true sounding enough to get me a pass in Lit 101 at Community College. Unlike Walt here, who aced his SAT's but got seduced by the low pay, obscurity and disrespect enjoyed by minor league baseball players. If it happened to him, it can happen to anyone.
