Lots of good images of Bobby on the site, here (use the search feature) and many (some good, some not so much) in the Vault. I'm only including this Cubs image (a current eBay offering of legendsandmoreinc) and the Cardinal image (from this condolences page) because they're not already posted elsewhere on the site (so far as I can tell).

Bobby was quite renowned for his outfield play.
