Incredible double weight 1943-44 team photograph of the Havana Lions in full uniform and posing in full uniform. 22 Team members pose in full uniform or their street clothes as executives and they are led by the greatest player in Cuba, Martin Dihigo. The image also includes huge stars like Cocaina Garcia, Ducky Davenport, Roberto Estalella, Gil Torres, Rogelio Linares, Julio Rojo and others. These guys were the champs and with a lineup like that, it is easy to understand why. This is a fantastic high quality piece of Cuban League history in great shape. Possibly a unique survivor, this is stamped by the photographer on the back as well.
