Negro League Homestead Grays Team Photo (from Original Negative)

Description

Could you imagine the dream matchup if this Homestead Grays team would have tangled with the New York Yankees when both were in their prime? Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig could have matched skills with Josh Gibson and Cool Papa Bell. The Homestead Grays dominated Negro League baseball during the 1930s. This team shot features Josh Gibson and the rest of the crew. The 16″ x 20″ photo was made from the original negative and was identified as a Teenie Harris image by Dennis Morgan of the Pittsburgh Courier Archives.
