The Vincent Greco Collection

Vincent Greco, born and raised in Baltimore during the early thirties was a pioneer in the game of baseball. Already a professional photographer during his early forties Vince was approached by Orioles management Lee McPhail and Joe Hamper to see if they could use film to evaluate the players performance during an actual game.

Vince was the first photographer, to take a position in the stands, with his Bell and Howell Super 8 camera to shoot the players. His commitment and passion paid dividends for the team and especially for the coaches and individual players who could now witness their mechanics on film for the first time.

Vince had a very close relationship with all the players spanning the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s. Vince would provide the players and coaches with great pricing on camera equipment and they would reciprocate by giving him game used items such as fielders’ gloves, bats and many team signed baseballs from various years.

Today, every professional team has extensive video equipment; coaches and players live by the film. Vince recently passed away but his legacy will never be forgotten. He was a true baseball pioneer!
