Description
Digital image of black-and-white photo of singer Jimmy Roselli with Roger Maris; inscribed by Roselli, no place, no date, circa mid-1950's-early 1960's. Original print 8" x 10" wide.
Copy 1 inscribed in ink by Roselli: To Brother + Marie Sincerely Jimmy Roselli. (Brother was Mike Yaccarino and Marie was his wife; residents of Hoboken; Mike worked at his father's business, Biggie's Clam Bar.)
The inscription by baseball star Maris that is seen in both copies is in the image; Roselli duplicated the print with the inscription and thus the inscription is not original to either print seen here. The Maris inscription reads: Lo Jimmy | enjoyed the show! | Best Always | Roger Maris.
