While the 1919 Chicago "Black Sox" get all the notoriety, it was the 1917 team that should be better known today. They were the superior team, played to win with the best hitter in baseball (Shoeless Joe Jackson), and win they did! The offered panoramic style photograph from rock star photographer Paul Thompson captures their all-star infield in uniform ready for the start of the World Series as seven men pose on the dugout steps. Photo includes Hall of Famers like Eddie Collins and notorious "Black Sox" members Buck Weaver, Swede Risberg, Fred McMullen and Chick Gandil all wrapped up into one gorgeous masterpiece of photography. Stamped on the back by the photographer and presenting here in fine condition overall, this is easily among the finest images capturing members of the famed "Black Sox" we have ever seen in any form and one that is sure to be the cornerstone of even the most advanced collection!
