Ty Cobb Warming Up
Description
A slide of a black-and-white, full-length image of Ty Cobb, seen leaning back to throw the ball. The image is from the article "The Baseball Scout: The man who "Combs" the minor leagues for Wagners and Ty Cobbs by Edward Lyell Fox, published in the July 27, 1912 edition of Harper's Weekly. Cobb's uniform collar is turned up as he leans to his right. The baseball is in his right hand, and he is wearing a baseball mitt on his left hand. The caption below the photo reads, "Ty Cobb was secured for seventy-five dollars." The partial article around the image discusses what appears to be scouting information.
