The great 300 game winner and Russian emigre is shown here in his home uniform, which was white with blue trim. In 1948, Starffin pitched nearly 300 innings, racking up 17 wins and pitching to a 2.17 ERA. Rarely have we seen such a clear image of Victor Starffin on a large original photo. We know that the photo is from 1948, as he is wearing a Stars uniform that was issued only in 1947 and 1948, but in 1947, Starffin was a member of the Robins. The photo has various minor creases and scratches, but overall is quite attractive. The number "2" is handwritten in pencil on the blank back.
