1936 Extremely early portrait photograph of the man who would change how sports was broadcast over the radio, Red Barber. Clear and bold, this is the earliest image of Barber we have ever handled and it presents well with some editorial remnants and a small rip and chip off the right border. An underrated figure in the history of baseball!
