1948 Ruth Lessing photograph as a Catcher for the Grand Rapids Chicks takes a break from game-action to apply some make-up. Beautiful and interesting photograph that showed that the league was about Baseball also looking good at the same time! A marketing ploy that WORKED during the depleted World War 2, Baseball Starved audiences. Interesting note that this pretty lady was fined $100 for hitting an Umpire the previous year! Condition is nearly perfect for the age with a paper caption on the back and stamps from NEA and Acme.
