 Lot 135. Fabulous Frank Lanning Print of 19th Century HoF Pitcher “Old Hoss” Radbourn. In 1884, Radbourn set a record that remains unequaled – he won 59 regular-season games while pitching the Providence Grays to the National League championship. He then won three more games in the post-season as Providence swept New York of the American Association in what may be considered the first World Series. Of course, after the 1884 season, Radbourn’s arm was never quite the same. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1939. Radbourn’s image is captured in a 16” x 20” print from artwork by Frank Lanning, sports cartoonist for the Providence Journal. Only Willard Mullin is more highly regarded than Lanning among creators of sports cartoons in the 1950s-era. The print is mounted are art board and is nm-m. Impressive display item!

There are bends and paint loss in the corner, “10-93” is lightly written on Williams’ uniform and there are scattered tiny stains and scratches. Viva Moxie!
