Lot 339: 1940s Baseball Immortals Vintage Photo from The Sporting News
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Age had only dimmed their prowess, not their legend. From the very old to contemporary, most of the baseball figures pictured in this rare 1940s photo found a place in the Hall of Fame. Original Sporting News photo is nearly flawless save for the sepia patina that has settled over the film to make it a timeless classic. Babe Ruth anchors the front, with Honus Wagner (left), Mel Ott, Walter Johnson and Tris Speaker. Talk about a murderer's row. Eddie Collins, Roger Bresnahan, Connie Mack, umpire Jocko Conlan and George Sisler are among the luminaries in back. EX-MT. 8x10".
