Definitive Joe Cronin 1933 World Series Photos & More (4)
Joe Cronin, who later in life was the AL's president, began his charmed career as player-manager for the Washington Senators in the '20s when these 4 wire photos of him were published. By far the most interesting is the close-up shot snapped on the eve of his 1933 World Series loss to the Giants. Though he was owner Clark Griffith's nephew by marriage, nepotism didn't make him a star; his bat and glove did (in fact, Griffith later traded him to the Red Sox), and the other shots show his prowess with those tools on the field. Photos are 6 1/2 x 8 1/2" and gorgeous EX-MT overall. World Series pic has attached caption sheet and all have original wire service stampings. The finest Cronin photos you will see.
