1917 Silver gelatin portrait photograph of young Chicago White Sox infielder Fred McMullin in uniform at the ballpark. Two years later, despite being only a part time player, McMullin would become part of the biggest scandal in baseball history as he took money to throw the World Series with seven of his buddies. Never a star or even a starter in the major leagues, images of McMullin are the scarcest of all the Chicago Black Sox to find and this is one of his earliest we have seen on the verge of the 1917 World Series. Stamped on the back from the New York Herald, the condition is perfect and the quality is pretty nice. We have only offered four images of McMullin in seven years!
