Joe McCarthy is arguably the greatest manager in baseball history, and it all started right here. Pictured in 1925 in his Louisville uniform, the paper caption on the back notes that he had been hired by the Chicago Cubs. He would turn the fortunes of that franchise around and eventually be lured to the Americana League New York Yankees where he would win more World Series' than anyone in history. From the archives of Underwood and Underwood and offered here for the first time ever with a detailed paper caption on the back. This is the earliest image of McCarthy with regard to his major league career that we have ever seen.
