1945 Photograph of former Pittsburgh Pirates hitting star Honus Wagner as he shares a reflective moment with 19th century pitcher John Tener at the ballpark. An exceptional piece of photography, the image is made special by the fact that Wagner is holding a pack of chewing tobacco reminiscent of his 1949 Leaf baseball card and also his T206 baseball card controversy! A silver gelatin original in great shape overall, this is one of his better images from late in his career that we have handled.
