His stature is becoming lost in the mists of time, but Lajoie may be the player with the least name recognition among current baseball fans relative to his importance. He was perhaps THE preeminent star of the turn of the century, whose popularity and success were crucial to the survival of the then-stuggling Cleveland Indians and the fledgling American League. Offered is a 5"x7" photo of the beloved Nap from the Paul Thompson agency. Boasting razor sharp clarity and superior contrast, this early 20th century example is of the of its kind. On the reverse side is Thompson's official press print stamp along with pencil notations. Stunning NRMT.
