1910 Silver gelatin action photograph of Billy Kelly in uniform with the St. Louis Cardinals. Kelly would go to the Pirates next season and this is one of the only images of him in uniform we have seen. A rare head to toe image that shows Kelly in catchers mask and a chest protector as well. A wonderful image of a prewar catcher in action!
