1918 Large portrait photo of Josh Billings, obscure catcher from the Cleveland Indians in full uniform at the ballpark. A part time player, Billings hit .429 in 1922 and seemed to be headed for several more big years but in reality he only lasted a few more seasons which was par for the course for deadball era catchers. One of the only known images of Billings, this is a unique new discovery being offered here for the first time ever.
