Dated July 7, 1948 portrait photograph of the newest player to break the color barrier in baseball, Satchel Paige of the Cleveland Indians. A detailed portrait photo from the day before history was made, he is still sporting the mustache in this photo that he would shave before his debut! Photo has a crease on the left side but overall it presents really well.
