The longest-running operation of all the great early photographers, George Burke and George Brace covered baseball in one form or another for the better part of the 20th centuryfrom 1929 to the 1990s. Their tenure had an auspicious beginning, to say the least. In 1929, Cubs manager Joe McCarthy and catcher Gabby Hartnett sought out the ballclubs previous photographer.

A listing leapt out at them: studio photographer George C. Burke, whose office was located near Wrigley Field. Thus began the baseball photography career of George Burke, who had no prior sports experience, and thus ended the career of photographer Francis Burkethe Cubs time-honored official cameraman and an unwitting victim of mistaken identity. George Burke hired a young, baseball-knowledgeable assistant named George Brace, and the two soon became a.

Ever-present at Wrigley Field and. Burke and Brace endeavored to amass a complete portfolio of player portraitsa daunting task made possible by the fact that. Was the only city with both an American League and a National League franchise from 1929 all the way until Braces retirement in 1993. Nary a visiting ballplayer refused a quick sitting during.

Some even stopped by Burke and Braces studio for additional, more formal portraits. The tandem was also well-known for endearingly candid pre-game and off-the-field shotsproof positive that both photographers were always welcomed by their famed subjects, embraced by them as friends at the stadium, at parties, in hotels, and on the street. Whos Who in the Major Leagues. Were just a few of the publications in which Burke and Braces work frequently appeared. In 1948, Burke suffered a heart attack.

Brace carried on the business for several years in order to offset his partners medical expenses. Then, upon Burkes death in 1951, Brace reduced his commitment from a job to an all-encompassing hobby. Though no longer their official photographer, he was still allowed full access by the Cubs and Sox organizations. It was a privilege he would maintain up until his death, a half-century later. With the exception of time spent as a.

Army medic in the South Pacific during World War II, Brace attended at least one game of every home series at Wrigley Field and. Throughout his entire 65-year career. For many of those years, he worked late shifts or odd jobs that paid his expenses and wouldnt conflict with the game schedule.

He always liked to arrive at the ballpark several hours early, when players were just arriving and fans were nowhere to be seen. In 1994, his age finally caught up with him.

Worsening eyesight forced his retirement from this long-time labor of love. Brace followed baseball up until the end and also co-authored a book.
