whos this kid, and whats his age?
- Thread starter merylane
- Start date
When he was 18 or so, he was in a made-for-TV series that was a 14.1 round robin with Irving Crane and others. I guess this was around 1962. I saw some of the matches in reruns in 1971 or 1972. Mizerak won the event. I think the announcer was Curt Gowdy, but I could be confused by the fact that Steve and Curt died in the same year.PIRANHA said:
Anyway, it looks like the photo above could be from the set of that production.

OK, so I lied. The event was actually the Television Tournament of Champions. It was a single elimination to 75, presumably so they could fit it in a reasonable schedule. Irving Crane won the event and Mizerak finished second. This is mentioned in Robert Byrne's short biography of Mizerak that appears in Byrne's "Advanced Technique" book. It also mentions that Mizerak had run 100 by the time he was 13.Bob Jewett said:

Not bad, but for more critical work, you may want to avoid using any of the auto-filters in Photoshop. Looks like a dust & scratch removal was applied (or did you just blur it on purpose?), which causes a distinct unsharpness and lack of grain.
Because the picture is so old, you probably don't want to sacrifice any of the detail in the image to clean up the scan as it isn't duplicable. Sorry for the negative feedback.
-Edit-
I also just noticed the removal of facial blemishes. Due to the type of photo this is - I feel that the more authentic the image, the better. For a young female subject... definitely. For an old photo of a legend, probably not. Again, just my opinion.

this could be from a world tourney that took place in NY, in the early 60's which miz lost to crane.
