Homer by NY Yankees great Mickey Mantle – photo by Ralph Morse<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Don Henley was a singer and percussionist for The Eagles<\/em><\/a> before that dysfunctional group imploded. Most of the group went on to play solo – some with their own bands. Henley made a CD called “Building the Perfect Beast”. The lead song was called “The Boys of Summer<\/a><\/em>“, a tag earlier applied to baseball<\/a> players.<\/p>\n

Micky Mantle<\/a> was one of the great players of his time and he was captured at each base during a home run he hit for his team, the New York Yankees, at Cleveland’s stadium. A serious drinker and womanizer, Mantle paraphrased near the end of his life, “If I’d known I was gonna live this long, I’d have taken a lot better care of myself”.<\/p>\n

The homer multiple exposure photo was taken by Ralph Morse<\/a> for LIFE magazine and appeared in its June 25, 1956<\/a> issue on pages 106,7.<\/p>\n

It was unusual in that intentional multiple exposures on a single negative with such accuracy were unheard of in that era. So called double exposures in camera were considered a rookie mistake. In the darkroom more than one negative could be and often was used to make a print.<\/p>\n

My thanks to George Dunbar for sharing this remarkable photograph with me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
