1923 Large photograph of Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson as he was reunited with his best friend and former manager, John McGraw, at the ballpark. A long paper caption on the back mentions that Mathewson was "probably the most liked ballplayer that ever romped around the diamond. The photo is exceptionally clean and clear and captures the moment that the two shook hands and were joined at the ballpark. The photo has a small rip at the top and a chip on the bottom border, but it looks way better than the technical grade. Issued by Wide World Photos and with a large paper caption on the back, this is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen in the hobby.
