Detailed and bold 1949 portrait photograph in uniform of Negro League superstar Hank Thompson in uniform with the Habana club during the off-season. He would a bit later become one of the top major leaguers as well with the New York Giants helping them win the World Series in 1954 before life caught up to him and he walked away from the game. A perfect 10/10, this is one of the best images of this controversial baseball pioneer that exists in any form.
