Large 1919 portrait photograph of "Shufflin" Phil Douglas, the eccentric star of the New York Giants and world class alcoholic! Douglas' exploits with the bottle and talent on the mound actually prompted manager John McGraw to hire a full time employee whose entire job was to keep Douglas away from alcohol! An impressive large image in full uniform and a rare subject as well, this is a unique new discovery that is being offered here for the first time ever.
