Original 1919 pitching action photograph of Eddie Cicotte from the Chicago White Sox as he warms up near the end of the season in which he and his teammates absolutely dominated the American League. The fix was in however and within a few weeks from when this photo was taken, Cicotte and seven others would throw the World Series to enrich themselves and gamblers. A poignant piece of baseball photography and while this example is not dated, we sold another image taken at this same exact moment that had 1919 file stamps on the back cementing the important date of this particular specimen. Condition is essentially perfect.
