Recognized as a ringleader of the plot to help "fix" the 1919 World Series, young Charles "Swede" Risberg was compensated with a reported $10k-$20k for his efforts to help recruit teammates to intentionally lose the World Series. Ultimately, the 26-year-old Risberg and seven other White Sox players found themselves banned from organized baseball for life by baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis following a grand jury investigation in 1921. Photographer Charles Conlon has captured Risberg in full swing at the Polo Grounds during 1917 in this 8" x 10" original photographic print. Surface of photo displays beautifully with gentle chipping to corners and an area on verso where a paper label was once affixed and removed. Verso displays Conlon's handwritten identifier of Risberg, with his personal credit stamping applied at the center. A highly desirable original Conlon featuring one of the most infamous names in baseball history. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
