Of course
Ma Bale never approved of this photo, but what the hell, after the races
everybody likes to party, especially if they'ev just won. Here, Clyde Parkhurst
caught Bale in a goofy mood. Besides, this is a really good picture of THE
HAT, you can almost make out the individual teeth of the 'hat band'.
When Bale was racing, not many people had a pierced ear, check out the
diamond in his left ear, a gift from Jim Ranger.
