Chick Hafey by Charles Conlon
This cherub-like face was overshadowed by other mugs on the Cardinals' "Gas House Gang." Still, all Hafey did was hit .317 lifetime and make the HOF. Conlon's ever-discerning lens captures a guy whose most beguiling feature -- his eyes -- made him a pivotal figure, as vision problems forced Hafey to become one of the 1st players to wear glasses from the mid-'20s on. (When night ball began, Hafey retired, believing he could never pick up the ball.) Clean crisp 4 x 6 1/2" is EX+ w/Conlon's valuable stamp ("photographer for Spalding's Guide and Baseball Magazine") and his handwriting in pencil on verso.
