There are early photographs of major league baseball players and then there ae mages like this of a high schooler Richie Ashburn, taken in a raggedy high school jersey and catching a ball as a sixteen year old! Stamped on the back with the date, the sheer existence of this image is head scratching as it captures him before he was on the national radar and four years before he made his major league debut. Without a doubt, this is the finest image of Richie Ashburn ever offered for sale and the condition is exceptional!
