It would take the Washington Senators fifteen years from the 1909 date of this sepia-toned team photo to win their first World Series (1924), but this team did feature Walter Johnson, “the Babe Ruth of the mound” and greatest pitcher with most strikeouts ever, until 1983 when Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton both surpassed Johnson. This Maurer photograph measures a panoramic 9x4”, and is mounted on black board; a fine piece - pristine, evocative and vintage. This is one of four separate lots available from family of team captain (1908-09) and right fielder Robert S. (Bob) Ganley, and includes LOA from family.
