A 16"x 24" print from negative of the Colby College baseball team featuring future major league pitcher Jack Coombs (Second row, on the left, looking away). Created from negative by our resident photographer Uwe Nikolay. Coombs, known in the majors as "Colby Jack ," pitched and won for the Philadelphia Athletics the day after graduation from Colby College in 1906. Coombs made further baseball history that season by pitching a full 24 inning game in turning back the Boston Red Sox 1-0 and had a world series record of 5-0. The photo looks like it was posed for and taken yesterday. Please see photos for more details. [ Waterville Maine
