About this Item
6 ½" x 8 ½" Type 1 sepia toned photo. Original photo of a smiling Jimmie Foxx holding a bat, with teammate (possibly Hall of Famer Eddie Collins) standing in background, and blue caption paper affixed to verso of photo. Near fine photo, with a light creasing to bottom edge, and light wear to corners. Overall, an excellent photo of an all-time baseball great. Jimmie Foxx, nicknamed "The Beast," was one of the greatest hitters in baseball history. He hit 30 or more home runs for 12 consecutive seasons and was the second player to join the 500 home run club after Babe Ruth. He also earned AL MVP honors three times (1932, 1933, 1938). In 1929 - the year that this photo was taken - Foxx led the Philadelphia Athletics to the first of back-to-back World Series titles (1929, 1930). Sadly, Foxx didn't quite attain the heights that he might have in his career, as he suffered from injuries and alcoholism. Nevertheless, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1951, and in 1999, The Sporting News ranked him as the 15th greatest player of all time. Seller Inventory # FOXXPHO001
