1915 Chicago White Sox, likely by Francis P. Burke

Deadball Stadiums, Francis P. BurkeJuly 14, 2023

This image is likely by Francis P. Burke as there is a known image by him that is just a tick off of this one. Note the man at the center of the bottom row. This is the team’s black trainer “Doc” Buckner. He is wearing a chapeau and a team jersey. This is perhaps the first image of a black man wearing a Major League jersey!
