Lester Nehamkin Set of 15 Photographs Including Mickey Mantle, Palmer, Joe Louis & More
For those that as much as glanced at the photography credit for a sports section newspaper photo in the 1950's and 1960's the name Lester Nehamkin might come to mind. Nehamkin covered a bevy of sports before locating in California and covering the PGA Tour's West Coast swing including the Desert Inn Tournament of Champions. He was famous for giving Champagne Tony Lema his nickname, then for obvious reasons.In the thick of things, he was even victim to one of President Gerald Ford's wayward shots.
Here is a collection of 15 of his photos including close and clear shots of Mickey Mantle, Arnold Palmer, Joe Louis, Joe Dimaggio, Lee Elder, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Chi Chi Rodriguez,Yogi Bera, Ray Nitshke, and Tony Lema. Lester himself is captured in the photo with Joe Dimaggio in photo eight. Fourteen of the fifteen photos in this collection have Nehamkin's stamp or label of some type on the verso of the photograph. 8" x 10"
