Tris Speaker signed with the Red Sox at the age of 19 and spent the next nine season patrolling center field for Boston. Traded to the Cleveland Indians in 1916, Speaker would call League Park home for more than a decade before Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis convinced him and Ty Cobb to retire from baseball following a game-fixing scandal. Undeterred, Speaker signed with the Washington Senators in 1927, where he played for only a single season, before ending his career with Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics in 1928. A fantastic rare portrait of Tris Speaker in a Senators uniform, the offered Type I photo remains the only original example we're aware of in the hobby. A spectacular 6" x 8" original with clean surface, sharp corners, and large credit stamping from International Newsreel on verso. Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA.
