Garmisch, Germany,
February 3, 1959: USAFE baseball clinic instructors Joe
Garagiola, left, and Early Wynn have a laugh over the concept of a catcher's
shin guards being worn over Ludwig Eberl's traditional lederhosen. The early start to the 1959 baseball season apparently
had no ill effects on Wynn, who went on to win 22 games and earn the Cy Young
Award at age 39.
