1904 Photograph of a dapper John McGraw posing with another celebrity of sports at the turn of the century, jockey Tod Sloan. While McGraw was known for being small in the baseball world, here he towers over the diminutive Sloan and looks like a true "New York Giant." An exceptional image which is a restrike from an original at the Boston Public Library that dates to the late 1910's it appears, but the condition is quite nice.
