Red Ames was a workhorse during the deadball era of baseball, starting his career in 1903 and ending in 1919 with 183 wins and a CAREER 2.65 ERA! Original action photographs of Ames are extremely rare and this is a beauty from the greatest baseball photographer of all time, Charles Conlon! The offered image is in nice shape with pinholes from publication being the only flaw. One of the only Conlon images picturing Ames that exists and the first as a member of the Cardinals we have ever seen!
