Charlie Gehringer photograph

Datebetween 1931 and 1933

DescriptionA black-and-white, full length, photograph of Charlie Gehringer captured in profile as he completes his batting swing. Gehringer has a look of concentration as he pulls the bat over his right shoulder and his feet turn in the ground. Gehringer is dressed in the Detroit Tigers uniform but it is indistinguishable whether it is a home or road uniform. Also on the front of the photograph are two identical logos that states, "caitnoP Pontiac." Unidentified fans and a stadium appear to be blurred in the background. The caption on the back of the photograph states, "Gehringer, Charles Infield: Detroit." Based on Gehringer's uniform and his time with the Tigers this photograph was taken between 1931 and 1933.
