1925 Portrait photograph of young rookie pitcher from the New York Giants who carries a weird but effective weapon in his arsenal, the knuckleball! "Fatty" carried this pitch to the tune of 217 wins which could have landed him in the Hall of Fame if he wore a Yankees uniform, but as such he is still a popular figure among collectors with this being the only image from his rookie season we have handled! Issued by NEA and stamped on the back with a typed identification from the service as well.
