CHRISTY WALSH
First sports agent inscribes to slugger Lefty O'Doul a black and white publicity photograph.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "for the one and only/'Lefty' O'Doul/mein host/mein friend/with appreciation/Christy Walsh". B/w, 9½x7½. Double suede matted and framed with a raised relief bearing his name and an informational plaque, to an overall size of 21½x35. Christy Walsh (1891-1955) began his career as a sports writer and cartoonist for the Los Angeles Herald (1911-1913). He moved into the advertising business, but returned to sports in the 1920s as the first big-time agent, forming the Christy Walsh Syndicate. His clients included baseball Hall of Famers Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, football immortal Knute Rockne, and Lefty O'Doul, to whom this photo is dedicated. (O'Doul hit for a .349 average in 970 Major League games). Walsh arranged a pool of sports writers to ghost write books and articles for famous players. He managed Babe Ruth's finances until fired by Ruth's wife Claire. Photo lightly creased and soiled. Frame in fine condition. Framed, not by HistoryForSale.
