Wagner as a kid
The photo of Honus with the other kids is part of a larger school photo, showing about 30 children total. It could have been taken outside the First Ward Public School in Carnegie, though I'm not certain. In the full version of the photo, Honus' brother Al is standing behind him and to the viewer's right. . . . I was lucky enough a few years ago to purchase an original copy of this photo, which I'm 99 percent sure was Wagner's. The image appeared in a month-long biographical series on Wagner that ran in a Pittsburgh newspaper a couple of years after he retired. The series included numerous photos that could only have come from the Wagner family. Faint crop marks on the original photo match up with the image published in the paper, so I'm reasonably sure my copy was once Honus'. It's among my favorite Honus pieces.
