Addie Joss, c. 1908

Image of Addie Joss at League Park in Cleveland. This photo is by Louis Van Oeyen, the noted Cleveland based photographer, circa 1908.

Joss photos are very rare as he died at age 31 in the prime of his career. Even rarer are images of him on the mound in League Park. Joss was elected to the Hall of Fame and is the only Hall of Famer with less than ten full seasons in the Majors.

The 1908 date is based on the uniforms and the fact the image was used in the 1909 Reach American League Guide.
