Recognized as a ringleader of the plot to help "fix" the 1919 World Series, young Charles "Swede" Risberg was compensated with a reported $10k-$20k for his efforts to help recruit teammates to intentionally lose the World Series. Ultimately, the 26-year-old Risberg and seven other White Sox players found themselves banned from organized baseball for life by baseball commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis following a grand jury investigation in 1921. Photographer Charles Conlon has captured Risberg in full swing at the Polo Grounds during 1917 in this 8" x 10" original photographic print. Surface of photo displays editorial crop marks, moderate creasing, and tape reside though they are constrained to within the white outer borders. Verso displays Conlon's handwritten pencil notations along with his personal credit stamping in blue. Black credit stamping from The Sporting News is also present. A highly desirable original Conlon featuring one of the most infamous names in baseball history. Full LOA from PSA/DNA.
