Do baseball players play cards anymore? Years ago they did—a lot. Our Vintage Photo of the Day from RMY Auctions is this wire service photo from 1934 showing several members of the New York Giants in the middle of a game of poker.
Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott, two Hall of Famers, are pictured along with others whose names are scripted in pencil on the back. The photo appears to have been taken at a hotel, and shows the players dressed in uniform.
Measuring 7×9 inches in size, it’s a 4.5 on a scale of 5.
This unique photo is one of more than 200 up for bid in RMY Auctions’ latest auction. The company specializes in vintage photographs. Current high bid is just $28 with the auction set to conclude Tuesday night.
