1940 Large action photograph of an on-field altercation between members of the Pittsburgh Pirates as they argued a call at Ebbets Field. The Pirates pictured are Elbie Fletcher at center and Hall of Famer Frankie Frisch who were upset at a call after Joe Medwick hit a triple at Ebbets Field. This is a unique new discovery from the archives of the Brooklyn Eagle and identified on the back as the work of photographer Alvin Lambert. Offered here for the first time ever the image quality is fantastic while there is creasing and wear from news room use.
