According to legend, Hank Greenberg (who was in the military at the time) was scheduled to play in an exhibition to help the war effort. His uniform was "missing" and all that was available was a set of perfectly fitting Yankees pinstripes. Sure it was just coincidence and had nothing to do with the fact that the Yankees had been courting Greenberg since he was in Junior High! A really special image of one of the greatest sluggers of all time wearing the pinstripes the Yankees longed to see him in permanently! Issued by the Associated Press and with a full paper caption on the back, the photo is in really nice condition.
