Stunning 9.75" x 12.5" original large format news service photo featuring the 1921 Pittsburgh Pirates posed at the Polo Grounds in New York. Hall of Famers Rabbit Maranville (bottom row, third from left), and Max Carey (middle row, second from left) are present in the image along with two-time Pirates World Series champion Babe Adams (1909, 1925) standing in the top row, fifth from the right. This highly detailed, borderless photo has been trimmed unevenly around the outer edges and a few creases and small tears are visible but mostly inconspicuous with the lower-left corner exhibiting the most wear. Heavy soiling is apparent on verso which includes a small credit stamp attributed to Bob Dorman, shooting for NEA's service. A fresh-to-the-hobby example from the personal collection of long time Baltimore area broadcaster, Ted Patterson. Authenticated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
