Play by Play: A Century of L.A. Sports Photography , 1889-1989


Curated by David Davis

Spanning a century of sports highlights, "Play by Play" revealed L.A.'s long-forgotten sports heroes and unforgettable moments. Focusing on L.A.'s rich and diverse sports history from 1889 to 1989, this comprehensive exhibit of photographs from the Los Angeles Public Library's collection traced the earliest days of professional baseball and boxing through the "Showtime" Lakers and Fernando-mania. All of the images used were selected by David Davis (now a Photo Friends Board member) from the photography archives of the Los Angeles Public Library. The exhibit was displayed at the Library from October 16, 2004, through March 27, 2005.
