Knowing the tragic story of Hack Wilson's hardscrabble life and his battle with alcoholism renders this stark portrait all the more powerful. Wilson stares straight at the camera with intensity during pre-game warm-ups at Wrigley Field. His cap and jersey logo date this 6 ½ x 8 ½ inch photo to circa 1927-1929—just before his epic 1930 campaign of 191 RBIs. High-gloss surface with light corner wear and strong image clarity and contrast. Underwood & Underwood stamping on reverse. This photograph comes with a LOA for Type I from PSA/DNA (1P06487).
