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.
This image is of Ty Cobb. It was taken at Bennet Park in Detroit which was demolished after the 1911 season. The photographer was Detroit’s own Fred G. Wright who also provided the photography for the 1907 H.M. Taylor Detroit Tigers postcard set, as credited…
