This pitching pose for Hall of Fame hurler Addie Joss, as elected by the Veteran's Committee in 1978, captures his distinctive look, but falls short of recognizing how his early death impacted Cleveland fans and fellow players. It is fair to say the exhibition "benefit game" of popular stars that raised money for his family also laid the groundwork for ongoing fundraiser games that would inspire the All-Star Game itself by 1933. 

The SGC GOOD 2 reflects corner rounding and a horizontal crease with flaked ink near his right arm.
