1946 Photograph of Chicago Cubs rookie Eddie Waitkus along with Frank Secory in full uniform. Waitkus was a prodigy with a long career ahead of him until a deranged fan named Ruth Steinhagen took a gun and attempted to murder him! A unique masterpiece of photography, this is one of the best images of Waitkus that has ever been offered. A poignant image of a young man that seemingly had his whole life ahead of him!
