Hall of Famers dot the image of the 1931 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals in this team composite photograph. Featured are the likes of: Dizzy Dean, Jim Bottomley, Frankie Frisch, Jesse Haines, Pepper Martin, Chick Hafey, Burleigh Grimes, Branch Rickey and more. Sid Whiting Photos is on the bottom right and "Haines" is written on back. There is a minuscule tear on the right edge from a nail in a previous frame. The image measures 9x12.75" and is overall NM with no creases or tears. Part of The Jesse Haines Collection, sourcing from the family of the Hall of Fame pitcher.

Jesse Haines was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1970 as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals. His impact in baseball spanned far greater than his nineteen-year career and he even threw a no-hitter in 1924, a feat that would not be achieved by another Cardinals pitcher for 50 years. This collection includes Jesse’s Hall of Fame plaque, a team signed baseball by the 1924 Cardinals commemorating his no-hitter, early photographs, autographs and more. This collection of “fresh to market” material sources from Haines’ family and is now available to the public for the first time.
