Important 1931 photograph of superstar pitcher Wes Ferrell of the Cleveland Indians, taken by Charles Conlon and stamped on the back.

A unique piece of baseball art, this is being offered here for the first time ever since it was sold in 1996 as part of the famous Baseball magazine collection. The pencil marks at his chest even identify where the cover image should start!
