Description

1887-90 N172 Old Judge John Ward (Cap In R/Hand At Side, L/Hand On Hip) PSA VG-EX 4. John Ward was much more than your typical athlete. During his 17-year career, Ward played shortstop, pitched and managed for Providence, Brooklyn and New York. Graduating from Columbia Law School in 1885, Ward understood the business of baseball and was a champion of the unpopular concept of player's rights. Ward challenged the player's clause which eventually led to the formation of the short-lived Players League in 1890. Pose: #478-3 Cap In R/Hand At Side, L/Hand On Hip. Caption: Capt. J. WARD, S. S. New Yorks. Graded PSA VG-EX 4. Pop One, two higher from a total pop of twelve. Photo quality: Excellent.
