Charming 1924 snapshot featuring six members of the 1924 Washington Senators posing with their young children. Depicted from left to right are pitcher George Mogridge Walter Johnson first baseman Joe Judge pitcher John Martina shortstop Roger Peckinpaugh and catcher Pinky Hargrave. Some age-relating soiling are the only critical condition issues with a piece like that aside from some mild wear and slight corner creasing however it is not the condition of the piece that makes this so highly desirable - it's the fact that it comes from Johnson's personal snapshots featuring the children of the great pitcher and his teammates (the boys outfitted in miniature Senators uniforms) and the handwritten notations on the reverse written by Hazel Johnson (Walter's wife).
