1921 Extremely rare photograph of two key witnesses during the Chicago Black Sox trial as they took the stand. The image pictures two of the "honest" members of the team (John Collins and Nemo Leibold) in court and ready to tell their side of the story. A cool paper caption on the back notes that the details from the trial were being updated every day with Comiskey himself taking the stand the previous day. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back, this is a photo we have never seen before from the darkest day in baseball.
