1946 Photograph of the stacked pitching staff of the Newark Eagles. Included in this image is Hall of Famer Leon Day (third from left), one of the toughest players of his era to find quality images of, as well as his friend and teammate max Manning (far right). This is not only a rare and beautiful image of Day, it is one of his personal favorites as it was his choice during his lifetime as the image to be used for commemorative baseball cards and for autograph signings! Despite some light creasing handling wear, it is easily among the top handful of images of the Negro League Hall of Famer that exists. Stamped on the back from photographer Handy and Boesser of Newark.
