Ty Cobb Standing with Hands on his Knees
Description
A slide of a black-and-white full-length image of Ty Cobb from the book Ty Cobb: The idol of baseball fandom by Sverre Braathen. He is standing in the fielding-ready position, legs shoulder width apart, squatting, hands on both knees (glove on right hand). Based on the Philadelphia Athletics home and road uniform details, the image is from 1927. A thumb is visible at the bottom of the book. A caption under the photo reads, "Ty set to retire an opposing batter." The words "A's 1927 Athletics" are written on the physical slide.
