Blood trickles from the forehead of future Hall of Fame infielder, Pee Wee Reese in this c.1941-42 Type I news service photo. According to full paper caption on verso, Reese had just been "struck by a ball in batting practice" at Wrigley Field prior to a contest with the Cubs. 7" x 9" photo boasts bright white borders that nicely frame the central image of Reese being helped off the field by Freddie Fitzsimmons as a concerned Lew Riggs looks on. Verso is heavily toned around the perimeter with a full paper caption from the Associated Press affixed with clear tape. Guaranteed to return as a Type I photo if submitted to PSA/DNA for authentication.
