1912 Portrait photo of famous baseball player Fred Merkle. He should be famous for his skills and talents which were many, but he is instead famous for a single mistake he made in 1908 that lost the pennant for the Giants. An impressive portrait photograph by Charles Conlon which bears his handwritten notes and stamp on the back. Photo is bold and beautiful with some light handling wear from news-room use. This is the finest image of Merkle we have ever handled and it is being offered here for the first time ever!
