This collection contains nine baseball-themed photographs and prints depicting legendary players and teams, primarily from the early to mid-20th century. The assortment includes two depictions of Shoeless Joe Jackson of the Chicago White Sox, featuring a large-format black and white portrait and a colorized seated print showing the player with several bats. The New York Yankees are represented by a black and white photograph of Lou Gehrig in a dugout with arms outstretched, a team lineup photograph, and an interior dugout scene. A notable group photograph features the Murderer’s Row lineup with four players standing with bats. Additional items include a color portrait of Roberto Clemente in a Pittsburgh Pirates home jersey and a modern color photograph of Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays shaking hands with an official. Several items in the collection bear signatures in blue ink. One photograph of Lou Gehrig includes a signature transcribed as Lou Gehrig. The Roberto Clemente photograph bears a signature transcribed as Roberto Clemente. The Murderer’s Row group photograph features four signatures transcribed as Joe Dugan, Mark Koenig, Tony Lazzeri, and Lou Gehrig. A photograph showing two figures in uniform features a signature transcribed as Joe McCarthy. Per standard practice, these signatures are presented as-is without third-party authentication.
