Composed by William J. Hartz "Husky Hans" was "A Stirring March and Two-Step" dedicated to the "3 times champion batsman of the National League." A quick internet search for Hartz reveals very little; it's possible that "Husky Hans" was his only publiched composition. Still here it is a 1904 ode to one of the greatest players ever. Measuring approximately 10 3/4" x 14" and featuring a prominent photo of Wagner himself in his Pirates uniform with the red printed cover adorned with a variety of baseball-related imagery this is a fantastic display piece. Once very scarce a large number of copies of "Husky Hans" were unearthed several years ago and auctioned together as one group. Since then the piece has become less scarce. However the majority of the copies in that find were in poor condition with tears and creases throughout. This example is considerably stronger with moderate wear and some minor notching at the edges and some staining near the bottom that does not detract from the presentation.
