Large format 8" x 10" news service photo featuring long-time New York Giants skipper, John J. McGraw. McGraw is posed at the top step of his dugout on Opening Day in 1928 while sporting the red, white, and blue uniform style of the late 1920's Giants. According to paper caption on verso this would be McGraw's 26th season at the helm and the first time in seven years he opted to appear in uniform while managing his club. Overall image quality remains fantastic with three white borders flanking McGraw. Visible rounding to the extreme corners and some unobtrusive creasing along right edge remain the only condition-related flaws worthy of mention. Credit stamping from Wide World has been applied to verso, which also includes full paper caption, though it has been separated from the photo. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type I photo by PSA/DNA.
