1924 Head to toe photograph of Walter Johnson from the Washington Senators as he signed a ball for "One Eyed" Connelly who was known as the biggest fan of the team and was famous for sneaking into sporting events for 40 years. Taken on the eve of the famous World Series against the New York Giants, this is a tremendous image of Johnson creating a piece of memorabilia that would be worth over $100,000 today! Stamped on the back by the famous Harris and Ewing company of Washington, this is the only example of this image we have ever seen and it presents well with note to some light creasing at the corners.
