Smoky Joe Wood, 1912 in Hot Springs

"Smoky" Joe Wood, 1- Photographs, International News, Photos published in Baseball Photography of the Deadball EraOctober 22, 2021

Outstanding image of Smoky Joe Wood warming up in Spring Training in Hot Springs, Arkansas circa 1912. Note the easy, almost nonchalant, grace of his follow through. Though of slight frame, Walter Johnson himself said no one threw as hard as Joe Wood. The International News stamp on back is the earliest version of the International News stamp. It was used in the early 1910s.
