Large 1919 pitching action photograph of Rube Benton of the New York Giants pitching at the ballpark. Taken by photographer Charles Conlon and stamped on the back, this photo has some incredible artistic enhancements that include a mask he was wearing during the Spanish Flue epidemic. An incredible image that crosses over into the world of art and an image that is more poignant today than at any other time since it was published!
