Description
A photograph of Chicago Cubs pitcher Tony Kaufmann on Santa Catalina Island, March 1922. The image shows the hurler in uniform and swinging a bat on the team's field during spring training on the island owned by the team's owner, William Wrigley, Jr., who purchased Catalina three years prior. On the reverse is an ink inscription: "Take at Cubs Training camp / Catalina Island Cal. March / 1922 / Pitcher Tony Kaufmann / Hard hitting Pitcher Ha Ha." With the lower left corner missing, two large edge tears, some major creases and some heavy soiling, the condition is fair.
