Hal Chase was a scoundrel and perhaps the worst character man in baseball history, but damn he was good! One of the best fielding first baseman of all time, he was also a fantastic hitter which is why teams continually gave him chances despite his open reputation for cheating. He won his only batting title in 1916 for the Reds which is about the time this small image was taken. Clipped from a slightly larger image for publication by artists at the Sporting News, this is a unique image that is being offered here for the first time ever.
