1912 Silver gelatin photograph of Hall of Famer Ed Walsh from the Chicago White Sox posing with a ball in hand and ready to take the mound along with his coach and mentor Kid Gleason. Images of Walsh are rare with this being one of his best, stamped on the back by famous photographer Paul Thompson and in beautiful condition. Walsh would soon be out of the game as a full-time player and before long Gleason would ascend to the top man on the team, culminating in the 1919 Black Sox scandal that rocked baseball. This is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen and grades a perfect 10/10!
