1920 Portrait photograph an important early American athlete named Ernie Neitzke with quite a story to tell. While there are essentially no known photographs of this man, he was one of the first two-sport professionals having played for both the 1919 Toledo NFL football team and the 1921 Boston Red Sox making him one of only a handful to do both! This is the ONLY known vintage photograph of Neitzke ever to be offered and it is a unique new discovery that is being offered here for the first time ever!
