Joe Cronin Swinging a Baseball Bat During Spring Training
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Boston Red Sox shortstop-manager Joe Cronin swinging a baseball bat at Payne Park in Sarasota, Florida, the spring training home of the Red Sox. Cronin is wearing a Red Sox cap and a baseball uniform and is pictured in a full-length pose following the flight of a “ball” after having swung the bat. An unknown catcher wearing full catcher’s gear is crouching behind Cronin. The background includes several men wearing suits standing on the field and several fans sitting in bleachers. Part of a ground-level covered bench area is visible to the right. Beyond the park, the Sarasota Terrace Hotel is also visible in the background.
