Best noted for his Olympic and football prowess, as well as his Native American heritage, this is a less common shot of Jim Thorpe during his six years playing in the Major Leagues. Original, one of a kind, from the camera, cellulose negative measures 4.75x6.75" and is stunning, one of the best we have seen of Thorpe in a baseball uniform. Considered one of the greatest athletes of all time, Thorpe won 1912 Olympic Gold Medals in decathlon and pentathlon, and was an inaugural member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Another masterpiece from the Brown Brothers collection.
