Sam Crawford was the most feared slugger in baseball during the earliest years of the 20th century. He would have been a star in any era as he was one of the first to blast the ball for power in the deadball era, leading the league in triples six times and homers once, with his career total in three-baggers being the all time mark that will never be topped. The offered photo shows him during spring training in 1905, still wearing his uniform from the previous season, and leaning over to snag a low throw at the ballpark. Images of Crawford are rare and undervalued with this unique specimen from the scrapbook of a teammate being one of the earliest and best we have ever encountered! Simply outstanding!
