Circa 1914 Eddie Collins Philadelphia Athletics Glass Plate Negative
Original, from the camera, circa 1914 glass plate negative of Eddie Collins at bat against what we believe to be the New York Yankees/Highlanders. Measuring 7x5" with some minor image loss at the top edge, the negative shows Collins in action, awaiting a pitch at the plate. The Hall of Famer is depicted in Philadelphia A's uniform, where he started his career from 1906-1914, earning MVP honors in that '14 campaign before moving on to the Chicago White Sox. A few years later, he played in the notorious 1919 Black Sox World Series, though he was determined to have played fairly and was not involved in the scandal.
