1912 Stunning art photo of the pitching grip of Smoky Joe Wood from the Boston Red Sox. One of the greatest sensations to ever appear on the baseball diamond, Joe's 1912 season is still one of the greatest of all time. A 34-5 record and a blazing fastball that left hitters shaking their heads, Wood was perhaps the greatest young player in baseball history before arm troubles took him down. The offered 1912 image is a clear and bold silver gelatin masterpiece highlighting the pitching grip of the greatest fireballer the game had ever seen. Issued by the American Press Association and in nice shape overall, this is one we have never seen before!
