1939 Original Photo MONTY STRATTON White Sox BEAUTY ! Starting Bid 99 cents !!! .... Absolutely NO RESERVE !!! DESCRIPTION An ORIGINAL Vintage 1939 Photograph depicting Monty Stratton of the Chicago White Sox. Beautiful 8” x 10” photo with several stamp dates from 1939 on the verso. Stratton who was pegged as a superstar hurler had his promising big league career end prematurely when a hunting accident in 1938 forced doctors to amputate his right leg. In the 1940’s, Stratton attempted to come back from his injury, pitching in the minors and semi-pro games. His return to baseball was rough sledding because other teams persistently bunted balls out of his reach, but Stratton finally was able to make a successful comeback winning 18 games with the Class-C Sherman Twins of the East Texas League. His touching story was the subject of the Hollywood film “The Stratton Story” which starred Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson (along with big-leaguers Gene Bearden, Bill Dickey and Jimmy Dykes in cameo appearances). ’s one of the nicest photos of Stratton that you could hope to locate with exceptional contrast and crisp clarity. As with ALL our auctions, t is NO RESERVE so Bid to WIN !!! (This is a 7-day Auction that ends on TUESDAY Night, April 13th).
