Raymond Berry and Lenny Moore
Today's photos are from a 1959 set in the LIFE magazine photo archive about Baltimore Colts football players Raymond Berry and Lenny Moore, taken by LIFE photographer Paul Schutzer.
Some of the photos in the set showed the action on the football field. Some showed the players in the locker room. A few showed Raymond Berry putting in or taking out his contact lenses (above). Contact lenses were still uncommon in 1959, and they were rigid plastic. Soft lenses were not approved in the U.S. until 1971.
A few photos showed Lenny Moore (above, right) with another player who seems to be getting up close and personal.
When Berry and Moore went into the shower room, the photographer seems to have followed them right in.
They were joined by quarterback Johnny Unitas at left.
"Who, me?" Johnny seems to be saying, as the photographer's field of view keeps slipping lower.
Yeah, that's better.
