“Gettysburg Eddie” Plank finessed his way to the Hall of Fame while becoming the first left-handed member of the “300 Win” club. The offered 4x6 “Type 1” photo features a dynamic sepia-toned image of Plank in full pitching stride. Handwritten notation on the photo reverse reads “Plank who pitched 2nd game for Athletics”. This note most likely refers to the second game of either the 1911 or 1913 World Series both pitched by Plank. This century old image displays in better grade with nice original gloss and light peripheral wear including several pinholes which do not impact the subject.
