Appropriately for their passing of the torch, old Joe D is positioned in the wings, while the fresh-faced young Mick takes center stage. Stalwarts Berra, Rizzuto and Stengel also stand out immediately from the 39-man lineup. Seldom seen in this impressive size and scope, the dramatic display technically rates about GD due to creasing and a few edge tears. Close examination of the image itself suggest that it was not printed from the original negative, yet viewed at arm's length one can hardly tell the difference. Elegant framing would further enhance this classic shot's visual appeal.
