Babe Adams 1923 The Baseball Bat Bag Magazine Cover


Description

A color slide of the 1923 edition of The Baseball Bat Bag magazine cover featuring a photograph of Babe Adams, seen in a pitching pose. Adams is standing on his left leg with his right leg in the air and is looking over his right shoulder toward where he may have thrown a baseball. As he throws, he twists to his left, away from the camera, making his back and right side visible. He is wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. The caption accompanying the photograph reads, "Babe Adams, one of the most remarkable pitchers of all time and the oldest regular veteran in the Major Leagues." Two article headlines on the cover read, "Forty Years of Odd and Interesting Baseball Records", Contains Major League Batting, Pitching and Fielding Records for 1922" Published by Baseball Magazine Company.
