Date1942 December 22

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Connie Mack captured with a smile on his face as he looks over his shoulder. Mack holds onto an elephant statue. A newspaper clipping is affixed to the back of the photograph (not shown) and states, "Phila-'I'm in 100 per cent shape -- and liable to go right on until I'm 100,' said the grand old man of baseball at his home in Phila. where he quietly observed his 80th birthday. Not until four years ago did Mack discover that his birthday actually falls on Dec. 22 instead of Dec. 23, but as usual he will celebrate his anniversary on the 23rd.12/22/42." Based on the newspaper clipping this photograph was taken on December 22, 1942.
