Large 1943 portrait photograph of young sports announcer Russ Hodges from MBS radio. A decade later he would proclaim "The Giants Won the Pennant" and his voice would become legendary throughout the history of sports. This is the earliest and finest image of Hodges we have ever seen in the hobby and this is an exciting new discovery from one of the most famous announcers of all time.
