1919 Completely unique new discovery showing the crowd of White Sox "Rooters" at Redlands field, ready for the start of the first game of the World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox. The image shows all black men (an incredible rarity) with instruments and part of the sign that is visible, identifying the group. Perched high above the first base line at the ballpark, this is an incredible rarity from the most famous World Series of all time. This is the first time this photograph has been offered for sale and it comes fresh out of a scrapbook with 4-5 other images from the series that will all be listed here in separate lots, but together in one auction for provenance. It is important to mention also that the scrapbook itself was featured in a Ken Burns documentary on Jack Johnson as it also has images of the Heavyweight Champion in the book and also important that this image was taken by a black fan who attended the games from Chicago and was a member of the White Sox Rooters! The photo is crystal clear and will get a Type 1 from PSA with ease, showing even smallest details in its silver gelatin production
