A Photographic Treasury of Baseball’s Deadball Era

Rube Waddell, 1905 photo by Louis Van Oeyen

Superb large image of Rube Waddell taken by Louis Van Oeyen in Cleveland’s League Park in 1905. It was published in the 1906 Lajoie Guide and erroneously attributed to being in Boston, but this is clearly League Park.

There is an early Van Oeyen stamp on back and the handwriting that appears is that of Van Oeyen himself.
