Ty Cobb From the October 16, 1910 Los Angeles Times
Description
A slide of a sepia photograph of the October 16, 1910, issue of the Los Angeles Times. The photograph shows Ty Cobb in his Detroit Tigers uniform, staring off slightly to his left into the distance. He is holding a baseball bat horizontally across his legs with both hands. A small box in the bottom right corner of the photograph probably reads, "Tyrus R. Cobb Detroit American League," indicating that the newspaper used a 1909-1913 M101-2 Sporting News supplement photograph. The caption above the photo reads: "Tyrus Raymond Cobb, Detroit Tiger, Champion Batter for Season of 1910" This caption is in reference to the disputed highest batting average between Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie, with the winner receiving a new Chalmers Model 30 automobile. Information written on the physical slide reads "News photo- 1910 Batting change"
