(LOT 282)
1918 Buck Weaver Original News Service Photograph PSA/DNA Type 1

A stunning 7" x 10" photo of George Daniel "Buck" Weaver, who played for the 1917 World Series champion White Sox, then was one of the eight players banned from the Major Leagues for his connection to the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. An incredible image of Weaver throwing the ball all dressed up in his flannel uniform and hat. In the famous 1919 World Series, Weaver batted .324, tallying 11 hits. After the Series was over, many suspicious reporters made allusions to a possible fix. However, some sportswriters praised Weaver for his efforts all along during the World Series. A beautiful photo of Buck! Great for your Black Sox Scandal collection!
