1985 Original Slide Transparency PETER UBERROTH

DATE SHOT: Spring 1985

SUBJECT: Peter Ueberroth

APPROXIMATE SIZE: 35mm in standard slide mount

MARKS / STAMPING: Mount is pre-printed with team name, player identification and position.

TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original Promo Slide

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.

Peter Victor Ueberroth was born in 1937 in Evanston, IL. Peter Ueberroth came to Major League Baseball after leading the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympic Committee to a rousing success. Ueberroth served one term as commissioner. He oversaw the 1985 Pittsburgh drug trials and subsequent suspensions and collusion in free agency in 1986 and 1987. Ueberroth was elected Time Man of the Year in 1984 for his role in the Los Angeles Olympics and appointment as Commissioner. In 1999, he was selected the 38th most powerful sports person of the century by The Sporting News. He was replaced by A. Bartlett Giamatti. More recently, Ueberroth ran unsuccessfully for governor of California in the 2003 recall election.

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.
