1925 Portrait photograph of famous player turned manager and coach, George Gibson of the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was captured here in uniform but the image was used to announce that he had accepted the job as the manager of the Cubs to finish out the season. he should have stayed in Pittsburgh as they would win the World Series a month later! A rare image, taken by the Keystone View Company and stamped on the back with a nice paper caption as well. The photo has a few light pinholes from editorial use but it otherwise presents really well.
