Rare 1955 photograph of members of the Houston Buffalo baseball club as they hoist their championship pennant. Team members are assisted by a beautiful young lady but the star of the show is tough Hall of Famer Willard Brown who had finished his career in both the Negro and Major Leagues but was looking to hang onto the game he loved. Images of Brown are extremely rare and this is almost certainly a unique specimen that is being offered to the public for the first time ever!
