Burleigh Grimes Kneeling photograph

Date1945 or 1946

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length photograph of Burleigh Grimes kneeling. Grimes, shown in 3/4 profile, wears a Rochester Red Wings uniform. Kneeling on his left knee, with his right foot placed flat on the ground, Grimes raises both hands in the air. Leaning forward, Grimes looks to a point in the distance and to the left of the camera. The background has been painted and is not original to the photograph. His arms and legs have been outlined to appear more legible. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Grimes and his post-playing career, this image was captured in 1945 or 1946, the two years he managed Rochester.
