1951 Famous photograph of baseball owner and Hall of Famer Bill Veeck as he enjoys life despite losing a leg in WWII. Here he is shows flying through the air and diving into a swimming pool in St. Louis shortly after taking over as the owner of the Browns. Photo looks nice but it has a small crease on the lower right and a rip on the far left side as well. An interesting photo from one of the most interesting personalities in the history of the game, issued by Acme and with a stamp and full paper caption on the back.
