When we stumbled upon this original 8 1/2" x 7 1/2" photo our first thought was - "These guys were teammates"?
This image shows Willie Mays and Warren Spahn as teammates in 1965 - Spahn's final year in the bigs. The following notation appear on reverse: caption affixed, "Associated Press WirePhoto" stamp, "Jul 24 1965" date stamp, production notes and Boston Herald Archives hologram.
The original Boston Herald was founded in 1846 by a group of Boston printers jointly under the name of John A. French & Company. The paper was published as a single two-sided sheet, selling for one cent. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
