It measures 11x14 it seems to be on an old photo card stock type material. There’s nothing on the back of it. If anyone can provide some information it would be greatly appreciated , thank you

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I agree that it looks like Whitey Ford. Quite a bit, I think. There is a photo in Getty Images that is taken directly into his face like this, and looks exactly the same.

    I didn't realize that he died just a little over a year ago.

    Correct.
    Career stats and bio, if anyone's interested, here:

    There are several photo experts at Net54Baseball.com who might be able to recognize, determine, or make a good guess at the source, publisher, and/or distributor of the actual photo.
