1985 Don Denkinger bad call photo

quality version of that photo, it would be really expensive. eBay is your best bet. OR, try to find it in a book and just make a color photocopy of it.

… in Kirkwood used to have a huge framed picture of it. I don’t know if that place is even open anymore, and I haven’t been there in more than a decade, but I seem to recall that it came from the Post-Dispatch. I know with some newspapers you can order high-quality reprints from back issues, so it might be possible with the P-D. Prolly cost a little bit, but definitely worth it if you can. Other than that I have no idea.

Does Denkinger’s bad call annoy KC fans? Most KC fans I know—which is a very small sample size—love to rub that in my face. I might get a picture from the 2006 World Series celebration and juxtapose it with a picture of David Glass shaking Dayton Moores hand at the initial press conference at which he was hired, so the KC fans know it is of Royals executives/owners. I would then follow that up by continuously emailing Joe Posnanski pieces to them because his writings on KC are well-written, smart, informed, not devoid of hope, and painfully honest.

One of my prized possessions is a print of Rick Monday Saves the Flag.

The gal who got it for me tracked down the photographer who took it and the paper it ran in originally. The photographer was dead already and the paper had gone out of business. When the paper went under, their assets were turned over to Los Angeles County. She got one of their archivists to find the original film, blow up the biggest print they could, and mail it out to her. It’s hanging in a frame in my living room.

Best present I’ll ever get, I imagine. (Even if it was a Cubs game).

this?

and this one

don’t google it, because that would make too much sense
