Presented here is a 7 7/8 x 10-inch black and white photograph of Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle taken by renowned photographer Don Wingfield circa 1956. Wingfield was the famed New York Yankee photographer, working for the Bronx Bombers as well as The Sporting News, the Washington Senators and the Topps Company. He also free-lanced work for national magazines such as LIFE and LOOK. His friendly nature and true professionalism endeared him to many players, who many years later would speak fondly of. This photograph shows the legendary trio decked out in their respective home uniforms, with Williams on the left in his Red Sox’ uniform on one knee with a bat out front, Berra in a crouch position wearing a catcher’s mitt and Mantle on one knee leaning on a bat. All three greats are looking off-camera to their right and the image appears to have been taken during spring training. The back of this photo has a “PHOTO BY DON WINGFIELD” stamp when he was based out of Alexandria, Virginia and other markings. There are pin holes and tape marks on each corner and the photo also displays edge wear and other markings. This comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (1P16125) and has been classified as a Type I photo.
