Important 1928 photograph of Hall of Famers Walter Johnson and Clark Griffith as the two pose together for a photograph after it was announced that Walter Johnson would take over as the new manager of the club he helped bring to prominence. Johnson had just signed to lead the club for 1929 but was posing for this photo so it could be used by newspapers to announce the signing. Issued by NEA and stamped on the back, this is likely the only example of this photo that exists!
