Incredible 6.5" x 10.25" oversized original photo of White Sox southpaw, Dickey Kerr. Kerr is most remembered today as a squeaky clean member of the 1919 White Sox, eight of whom infamously conspired to throw the World Series. Just a rookie at the time, Kerr won his start in Game 3 of the series; a dominating three-hit shutout of the Reds. Four days later, with his team facing elimination in Game 6, Kerr went 10 innings to secure a 5-4 Sox victory and keep Chicago's hopes alive for another day. The presented photograph displays a crease to the lower-left corner and otherwise appears to have remained in near-flawless condition with hints of editorial masking applied. Handwritten notations appear on verso which also includes NEA credit stamping bearing a date of Oct. 8, 1920. Guaranteed Type 1.
