Complete July 25 1874 issue of Harper's Weekly including the popular woodcut image of nine Philadelphia Athletics ballplayers including Hall of Famer Cap Anson (depicted at lower right). One of the more important of the Harper's woodcuts the image also includes Dick McBride who pitched all 487 of the team's innings that season (the team played 55 league games). Also depicted are outfielder John Clapp (led the team in home runs with 3) catcher Mike McGeary (.321 batting average) second baseman Joe Battin (27 RBI) third baseman Ezra Sutton (.282 average) and outfielder Count Gedney (34 RBI). The issue appears in very strong condition folded backward at the spine so that the page with the baseball woodcut faces out.
