One of the top hitters of his era, Buck Leonard was one of the biggest casualties of the baseball color barrier that prevented him from appearing on the biggest stage. Even without reliable statistics and few that ever saw him play, he is ranked the 47th best player in all of baseball history. The offered image captures the Hall of Famer from his playing days in the late 1940's for a Mexican League team. A fantastic condition original that grades a perfect 10/10, this is one of only a handful of original images of Leonard from his career that exist and this is what we believe to be a unique image being offered here for the first time ever. An exciting new discovery that is sure to be a cornerstone of even the most advanced collection!
