The winningest pitcher of all time, the first to throw a perfect game in the American League, maybe the best pitcher ever to lace them up. There is no one reading this who doesn’t know of his many accomplishments. One of the finest and most famous images ever taken of the great Denton True “Cy” Young. Crystal clear portrait of one of the finest moundsmen ever, as he poses in the visitor’s dugout. The wood planked background is the perfect analogy to the rough and ready toughness of this early 20th Century legend. The cracks in his face and his clear eyes speak volumes about the determination and indomitability of Young. 3-1/4 X 4-14” pic is NRMT. Some paper on verso.
