1916 Carl Mays Rookie Era Original Photograph (PSA Type I)
1916 photo dates from early in the career of Boston Red Sox pitcher Carl Mays. Measuring 5.25x7.5", the photo depicts the right-hander in follow through of his motion, and the front looks remarkably clean with no blemishes apparent. Back has a heavy pencil notation reading "Carl Mays Full Figure" though there is also a typed caption which has been crossed out. The caption discusses Mays' potential as a starter should the Red Sox make it back to that year's World Series. Obviously this generic photo was easily reused, explaining why the caption would be irrelevant at a later date. Mays was on the squad for the 1915 Series but did not play; he did start one game as the Sox did make the '16 Series as well, but he fared poorly in taking Boston's lone loss of the 4-1 series in Game 3. Encapsulated by PSA as Type I Authentic.
