1906 Photograph of six members of the Pittsburgh Pirates, all new to the team, posed in uniform during a break in the action at spring training. Included are veterans making a new start like Ed Abbaticchio as well as rookies and youngsters Howie Camnitz, Allan Storke, Speed Miller, James Brady, "Goat" Anderson and Harry Huston. A unique new discovery that is the only example of several of these players known to exist, the inclusion of Abbaticchio (one of the first professional baseball and football players in history) making it an exciting piece of history. One of the coolest early pieces of 20th century baseball photography we have ever seen, the image presents well with a tiny rip at the top and some faint editorial enhancements from publication. A true piece of Pittsburgh Pirates history!
