Stan Musial Sliding into Home Plate Past Ernie Lombardi
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Stan Musial sliding into home plate past catcher Ernie Lombardi at Braves Field in Boston, Massachusetts. Musial is wearing a St. Louis Cardinals road uniform and cap and is in a sliding position with his right foot on home plate. Lombardi is wearing a Boston Braves home uniform and is in a standing position about three feet to Musial's right, looking down at the baseball on the ground nearby. The photograph was taken from field level just behind home plate on the first base side of foul territory. An out-of-focus player or coach can be seen in foul territory on the third base side, with a virtually empty portion of grandstands visible in the background. See lombaer01_05.
