There are so many reasons a photo becomes iconic and draws each of us for some reason to the emotional appeal of the photo. ( Like the one of the rainy night in the theater district by Russell Froelich that always gets 250+ likes). Same goes for photos of the old Cardinals... This one is special, not that I was there to see this, but I just like this picture that I found on the net months ago. Here we have Pepper Martin of the St. Louis Cardinals as he reaches first base on an error during the 1930 season. The chalk dust coming up off the bag, Martin’s cap laying on the base line, the First Basemen scrambling to get the dropped ball, and Martin in mid-sprint. This photo is basically at least one of the photos I have come across that I call Baseball perfection. Some call it a Kodak Moment.
