1947 Photograph of the three members of the New York Yankees catching staff in uniform and posing with their gloves. With all due respect to Aaron Robinson and Ralph Houk (both of which were stars and future managers) the true gem here is Yogi Berra from his first full season in the major leagues. A clear and bold image capturing Berra from extremely early in career, this is one of his finest photographs we have ever handled and one that predates his rookie card by a full year. Despite a crease at the top border, the photo presents well, stamped on the back by the International News and with a full paper caption as well.
