Opening Day & Glory Days

I found Tom's old baseball, glove and jacket in the attic for a photo in tribute to baseball's opening day.
Tom's Glory Days ~ 1968, third base, High School State Champs.
I didn't meet him until after college...but I know he must have been awfully cute out there on third base back in the day. :)

Wonderful composition - so much character in this shot.

[Peggy Sirk]

@becky_tamm Thanks, Becky! And thanks, too, for the fave. :)

[Peggy Sirk]

@smith Thanks, Bob! The answer to your question is ~ No! There are as many pounds added as years since Tom wore this jacket.

[Paula Fontanini]

This is really beautifully done Peggy, your presentation really adds to the nostagic feel of the subject....well done!
