Compelling photo of young Homestead Grays pitcher John ("Hymie") Leftwich in 1945. Leftwich would pitch only briefly in the Negro National League and his eyes say he knows that would be the case as he poses in a parking lot in his Grays uniform and jacket. Leftwich signed the 8 x10" photo in blue pen, a VG signature unfortunately marred by the only area of damage on the o/w EX picture.
