COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends.

George Irvin Bamberger was born in 1923 in Staten Island, NY and died in 2004 in North Redington Beach, FL. He played major league baseball from 1951 to 1959 as pitcher for the New York Giants and the Baltimore Orioles. Bamberger was a player/coach for the Vancouver Mounties (1960-1962) and Dallas-Fort Worth Rangers (1963), and an Orioles minor league pitching instructor (1964-1967). However, he gained his greatest fame as the Orioles pitching coach from 1968 to 1977. During his tenure, the O's produced four Cy Young Award winners and 18 twenty game winners. In 1978, he left the Orioles to become the Milwaukee Brewers manager and led the club to their first winning season that year. He suffered a heart attack during spring training in 1980 and retired as the Brewers skipper after the season, but Bamberger returned to baseball in 1982 as the manager of the New York Mets. He served another stint as Brewers manager from 1985 to 1986.

Explanation of Type Classifications:

Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken).

Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken).

Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period.

Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period.

Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
