Approx. 5" x 7" news service photo featuring Eddie Brown of the 1920-21 New York Giants. Brown broke in with the Giants late in 1920, appearing in three games between September 26 and October 3 while recording a single base hit over 8 at-bats. Brown, an outfielder saw significant playing time in 1921, appearing in 70 games and batting .281 on the season. The Giants ultimately defeated their fellow Polo Grounds tenants, the New York Yankees, 5 games to 3 in the 1921 World Series though Brown did not appear. Top right and bottom left corners have chipped away from this photo, though the central image remains unaffected. Verso contains some staining, consistent with news service photos from this era, along with handwritten pencil notations and a Paul Thompson copyright stamp.
