1926 Silver gelatin photograph of Alex Gaston and Claude Jonnard in their St. Louis Browns team jackets at the ballpark. Gaston is seen demonstrating his "Fork Ball" with hand grip clearly visible in the image as Jonnard appears to be astonished by what is being shown to him. A beautiful image including a great stadium backdrop, this is a unique image which has never been seen before and is almost certainly the only one to exist! Photo has some wear and a few pinholes as well as a piece of tape on the back reinforcing a crease. Beauty!
