Lee Fohl, 1916 signed photo by Frank W. Smith

Fohl was the manager of the Cleveland Naps in 1916. The photo is by noted Cleveland photographer Frank W. Smith who had a penchant for having the subject of his photo sign the photo. The photo is printed on doubleweight high quality paper as Smith was wont to do. Smith may have been a collector himself.
