1923 Large photograph of baseball superstar Christy Mathewson as he appeared in the stands in Boston on opening day along with Kennesaw Landis and the Mayor of the city. Mathewson was sick after being gassed in WWI and he rarely appeared in pubic, making this a rarity near the end of his tragic life. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, the photo presents nicely with note to wear and marks from editorial use. We have never seen this image before in twenty years of selling sports photography!
