The artistic flair of Charles Conlon is recreated here, decades later, capturing the batting grip of St. Louis Cardinals icon and would-be 1948 NL MVP, Stan Musial. With the original paper bio caption still affixed to the back entitled “Off to Flying Start”, this 5” x 7” Type 1 photograph comes from the Acme/N.E.A. news service. A crystal-clear image when “The Man” was hitting .405 on “5-28-48”.
