1911 Pitching action photograph of Cy Young from the Cleveland Indians as he worked out at Hilltop Park in New York. While not concretely identified as such, this appears to be the work of photographer Charles Conlon. The photo is a slight restrike from about the 1930's, leaving open the possibility that this was done by Conlon himself. This is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen and despite some mild handling wear, it presents beautifully.
