Large c. 1952 action photograph of Phil Rizzuto from the New York Yankees as he slides into third base with a triple off Preacher Roe. Coach Jim Turner is reacting to the fact that the ball hit off Roe's glove and went into the crowd and Rizzuto should have been given home plate. How do we know this? The photo comes from Turner's estate and there is a full handwritten letter on hotel stationary describing the action from Turner!
