Amazing 8x10 of Buck Leonard standing with Homestead Grays teammate Roy Welmaker and two New York Cubans officials; L.J. Blanco Chataing and Bernardo Vizcaya, before a May 26, 1945, game in the Polo Grounds. Leonard, and the rest of the negro league players rarely had the chance to play in such a park despite their amazing play and comparative abilities to the big leaguers. Original Spanish news organization stamp on back. Crease through the bottom third of the photos but in Excellent condition.
