Mel Ott Batting photograph

Date1940 or 1941
DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Mel Ott captured standing beside home plate in the batter's box. Ott is in his batting stance, holding a baseball bat on his left side over his shoulder. He has a tight lipped smile as he looks towards the photographer. Ott is dressed in a New York Giants uniform, but it is indistinguishable whether or not is is a home or road uniform. An unidentified gentleman is captured walking through the stands behind Ott. Based on Ott's uniform, his time with the Giants, and a stamp on the reverse (not shown), this photograph was taken in either 1940 or 1941.
