Lefty Grove sitting in the dugout at Fenway Park.
"Days before the first pitch of the 1939 baseball season, a sharp-eyed Boston news photographer pointed a camera at a 20-year-old rookie with big ears and freckles. The kid’s new Red Sox uniform hung off his scrawny frame, making him look like a boy wearing a man’s suit. That moment was preserved by the shutter. The photographer, Leslie Jones, scribbled 'Red Sox player’ as a caption and squirreled the negative away in his Dorchester basement, where he kept tens of thousands of images from his life as a newspaper cameraman."
