ClintI've wanted this photo since I first seen it 10 years ago in The Glory of Their Times. I figured it had been destroyed or was in a collection not to be seen again. It's a picture of Joe Wood on the Ness City, Kansas team when he was 16 years old. It's hard to photograph as it's in it's original frame. The paper backing was removed where a photographers stamp can be seen. Joe is seated on the far right.
I've also included a postcard of Joe Wood with the Hutchinson Salt Packers team in 1907. Joe is third from the right. This was the first item I bought that was Kansas related and started me down this path. Joe is in the top row, third from the right.
I'm really overwhelmed to own such a great piece of historical Kansas baseball as well as something that belonged to Joe Wood himself. As a Kansas baseball historian it just doesn't get any better than this.
