This is a super attractive horizontal format color
bromide depicting the "God of Batting" crying out after taking one of
his monumental cuts at the baseball. The blue-sky background enhances this
giant sized portrait of the best hitter of the 1940s and 50s who subsequently
became the best Japan Pro Baseball manager ever.
This example is in exceptionally high grade for a c.
1950 1st prize bromide.
