Spectacular photo of the 1913 Kansas City Blues of the AA American Association. Photo quality is excellent as is the cardboard matte in which it is mounted. Since the photo has been secured inside the matte with a cardboard backing we cannot comment on the quality of the photo's edges but the image clarity and contrast is excellent with a slight tear in the lower-left corner that is nearly inconsequential to the aesthetics of the piece. The 1913 Blues team had a large number of players who were former or future minor leaguers including several that appear in the T206 set. The entire team as pictured is as follows: Top Row L-R: Hippo Vaughn Tex Covington Bill Riley Robert Rhoades Charlie Carr (Mgr) Lee Tannehill Delos Drake. Second Row L-R: Paul Krichell Tom Downey Otto Williams Cy Morgan Ragan Tillie Walker Braggo Roth. Third Row L-R: Lou Fiene Jap Barbeau Bob Coulson Murphy Paddy O'Connor. Front Row L-R: Biff Schlitzer Neer Roy Baxter Zip Zabel Withers. The best-known name is likely that of Paul Krichell who became a Yankees scout and discovered Lou Gehrig Hank Greenberg Tony Lazzeri Phil Rizzuto and Whitey Ford among others. An outstanding vintage team photo with a significant assortment of future major leaguers.
