Giants Farm Photos
This is an archive of mostly minor league team photos from affiliates of the New York and San Francisco Giants baseball club. There will be occasional posts that are not of affiliates or team photos, but they will be related in some way. I will initially be posting various photos from my personal collection. I will try to update at least weekly until I have no more to post. After that, I will post when I get new photos. If you have any photos that you would like to add to the archive or if you can help identify any unknown entries, please email: charhodder@yahoo.com. I am willing to trade high-quality scans via email and am also willing to provide scans to regional museums and historical societies that may be interested in photos of local interest. Please feel free to save, copy or link any of these pictures that are not credited directly to anyone.
