Jesse Burkett and fellow Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings joined John McGraw's New York Giants coaching staff prior to the 1921 season. Both men were onboard for the Giants World Series championships of 1921 and 1922 (the Giants won four consecutive pennants 1921-24), with Burkett departing in 1923 and Jennings remaining until his health declined badly in 1926. The offered photograph is a wonderful shot of Burkett and Jennings looking on during spring training, 1921 in San Antonio, TX. A beautifully clean photo, free of rips tears stains and other blemishes of note. Verso includes a paper tag with caption, pasted over Underwood & Underwood news photo service stamping. 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.
