Unquestionably one of the greatest World Series of all-time, the 1924 affair featured 36-year-old Walter Johnson sealing victory for the Washington Senators in Game 7; the first and only World Series championship in Johnson's 21-year Hall of Fame career. Here, rival Hall of Fame managers Bucky Harris and John McGraw pose for photographers prior to Game 1 at Griffith Stadium - October 4, 1924. Photo measures 8" x 10" and surface is clean with central image unaffected by minor creasing to three of the four edges. Bottom border and all corners have chipped away but this ultimately does not impact attractiveness of the photo. Clear tape has been applied to reinforce some areas of creasing and National Photo stamping appears in bold lavender along with handwritten identifications. This photo is fresh to the hobby and originates from the archives of Photo File, Inc. where it has been stored for several decades until this offering. Guaranteed Type 1.
