1918 Large photograph of baseball superstars Rube Marquard and Benny Kauff, two of the bigger names of the decade, as they pose in their new WWI uniforms after their final game of the year. Marquard is wearing a Naval uniform and was set to be a mine sweeper, while Kauff was in uniform with the Army. A powerful work of baseball photography and American history, this is the best photo that combines WWI with major league baseball that we have ever seen! Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
