Original photograph from a crucial series between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers showing a play at the plate. Image captures Dick Hoblitzell scoring against Oscar Stanage (Detroit Catcher) with Umpire Silk O'Laughlin looking on. Purchased directly from the estate of Dick Hoblitzell, this series was one of the most important games in Hoblitzell's career, so much so that his daughter still remembers him talking about this game! The notes on the back are in the hand of Dick Hoblitzell himself and he details the significance of the series with each teams records as well. Original silver gelatin photograph is one of the few opportunities to buy a photo from the estate of the player pictured. Condition is beautiful and this photo originally sold in 2014 for $546!
