One can see why Dave Bancroft was nicknamed "Beauty" in this exceptional Keystone Photo Service snap from the early 1920s during his 3-year tenure with John McGraw's Giants. Bancroft, the premier shortstop of the 1910s and '20s and a key component on the pennant-winning 1915 Phillies, is captured in his throwing motion, every muscle and tendon working in unison and looking smooth enough to have been dipped in apple butter. Keystone copyright stamp is on back. 6 1/2 x 8 1/2" photo is impressively NRMT.
