Al Niehaus only played one year in the major leagues, but he is forever part of history as he suited up and played for the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Offered here is the ONLY known photograph of Niehaus in uniform with the Pirates, issued through NEA and offered here for the first time ever. Unfortunately for Al, he was traded to the Reds after this photo was taken and did not get a World Series ring, but he was part of history anyways and this image captures him on one of the 17 days he played for Pittsburgh. One of the rarest images of a World Series obscurity we have handled and offered here for the first time ever!
