"Stan the Man's" Last Swing
This photo is from 1963, and was taken by my late father, using Ektachrome slide film. The camera was a Voigtlander Prominent, 35mm rangefinder with a Nokton 50mm lens. Dad took my brother and me to the last game of Stan Musial's career at old Sportsmans Park in St. Louis. I've cropped the original and zoomed in to get a better look at the famous number 6 getting the last hit of his Hall of Fame career, (it was a single to right field past a rookie 2nd baseman by the name of Pete Rose). I also adjusted the color a bit from the slightly bluish original, but Dad did the most important thing by tripping the shutter at just the right moment, perfectly capturing the final swing of one of baseball's all-time great hitters. Nice job, Dad!
