Jim Thorpe Running Out of the Batter’s Box
Description
A slide of a black-and-white full-length photograph of Jim Thorpe, seen running out of the left-handed batter's box. Thorpe twists to his right, making his upper body face the camera as he leans on his right leg toward first base. He still holds the baseball bat with both hands. He wears a New York Giants uniform and has a baseball glove in his back right pocket. The blurry background shows third-base foul territory, a picket fence, and an unknown building. Information written on the slide reads, "hitting"
