This rare 1916 original Type 1 photograph captures Fred Mitchell in a seldom-seen Chicago Cubs uniform during the early days of his managerial career. A deadball era standout, Mitchell would go on to lead the Cubs to the 1918 World Series. This newly discovered image is a true gem for collectors of early 20th-century baseball history.
