DATE SHOT: 1952-53 SUBJECTS: Enos Slaughter, Eddie Stanky's Daughter APPROXIMATE SIZE: 8"x10" MARKS / STAMPING: Anheuser-Busch Photography Department stamp. TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is one of a number of photos to be offered which hail the personal collection of All-Star player and manager Eddie Stanky. See scans for further details including condition. Enos Bradsher Slaughter (Country) was born in Roxboro, NC and died in 2002 in Durham, NC. He played major league baseball from 1938 to 1959 as outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Kansas City Athletics and the Milwaukee Braves, appeared in the 1942, 1946, 1956, 1957 and 1958 World Series, was selected 10 times as an All-Star, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985. In 1946 he led the National League with 130 RBI and led the Cardinals to a World Series win over the Boston Red Sox. In the seventh game of that series, Slaughter made a famous "Mad Dash" for home from first base on Harry Walker's double in the eighth inning of game seven with two outs and the game tied 3-3. This play was named #10 on the Sporting News list of Baseball's 25 Greatest Moments in 2001. Slaughter was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985; his jersey number nine was retired by the Cardinals in 1996, and the team dedicated a statue depicting his famous Mad Dash in 1999. Explanation of Type Classifications: Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken). Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken). Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period. Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period. Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
