1945 Large baseball magazine about baseball in Cuba and showing the iconic Josh Gibson on the cover, plucking pedals from a flower representing the teams he was potentially choosing from to play for in the next season. The color cover is bright and vibrant with the figure of Gibson portraying the most vile of stereotypes of black players, despite being printed in Cuba where you would expect the readers and magazine artists to be more tolerant! A work of baseball art that is among the most stunning baseball pieces we have ever handled. The interior pages feature images of several players as well as standing etc. A museum quality relic from the most impressive player of all time!
