Presented here is a truly historic photograph depicting the 1937 Ciudad Trujillo baseball club, which includes three Negro League all-time greats: Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige and Cool Papa Bell along with several Latin American stars of the day. This powerhouse team was hand-picked by dictator, Rafael Trujillo, to overwhelm the competition from the Dominican Baseball League during the 1937 season. The stacked ball club would go on to win the Caribbean Series championship that season, defeating another outstanding baseball team, Las Aguilas de Vera Cruz, in the finals. 7x10" silver gelatin w/superb team image. Back has various publication/printing notations. Moderate wear and aging but the image is bold and front remains glossy. Although it might not command the five-figure price that a Type I photograph would, this beauty is still 70+ years old and would surely make a fantastic addition to any Negro League baseball memorabilia collection. Richard Merkin Collection.
