Ty Cobb Receiving a Gift
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, mid-thigh image of Ty Cobb from the book Ty Cobb: The idol of baseball fandom by Sverre Braathen. Cobb is smiling while looking at two plainly wrapped packages he is holding. There are several unidentified men wearing suits in the image with him. Due to a lack of details, the year of the uniform is undermined. However, it is later in his career. A caption under the image reads, "a gift from congressional friends." The words "w/ Congressmen" is written on the physical slide.
