Ty Cobb Bunting Demonstration
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 O. Braathen. He appears to be in a bunting stance near the grandstand. His right hand is gripping the baseball bat overhand, and his left is above his right underhand. His right foot is turned and pointed inward, while his left is behind him and has his toe on the ground. Based on the Detroit Tigers road uniform details, the image is from 1923 or 1924. A caption underneath the image reads, "Ty Laying Down a Bunt." The words "Bunting demo" are written on the physical slide.
