Large-format team photo, measuring 29.75x19.5", capturing 31 members of the 1949 Cleveland Indians. The team is pictured posing together in front of the grandstand, including Satchel Paige, Bob Feller, Joe Gordon, Lou Boudreau (player/manager), Bob Lemon, Larry Doby, Bill McKechnie (coach), Early Wynn, Luke Easter, Ken Keltner, Mike Garcia, and Bobby Avila. Photos of this size were usually produced for display in team offices or for personal presentation to the players. As such, they were not normally available to the public, which is the reason for their scarcity today. The photo, which is mounted on thick cardboard, displays light-to-moderate staining and chipping along the right border, but is otherwise in apparent Excellent condition. Framed to total dimensions of 32x22".
