Third baseman Buck Weaver never accepted money from gamblers to help "fix" the 1919 World Series but was certainly aware of the conspiracy and did not out his teammates to authorities. In the eyes of baseball commissioner, Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, this was justification enough to ban him from the game for life, along with seven other "Black Sox" teammates. Tragically, Weaver would apply for reinstatement six times between 1922 and his death in 1956, with those attempts either rejected or ignored each time. The presented 8" x 10" photo of Buck Weaver is one of two identical examples we are aware of in the hobby and was captured as the infielder posed for photographers at the Polo Grounds. Some wear is visible along the top edge and several pinholes are present both at the very top and within bottom half of the photo. An obvious fold can be seen between Weaver's likeness and the left edge. Original paper caption remains affixed, declaring Weaver "...one of the star players of the game." Credit stamping from the Graphic News Bureau of New York City has been applied to verso, with a handwritten date of 9/27/19 at the bottom, just a few short days prior to start of the 1919 World Series.
