DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Charlie Gehringer captured sliding safely into third base during the 1933 All-Star baseball game in which the AL All-Stars won 5 to 3. The game was held at Comiskey Park. Gehringer is looking up at third baseman Pie Traynor. Traynor is leaning down tagging Gehringer on the leg as umpire, Cy Rigler, declares Gehringer safe. An unidentified baseball player is visible on the sidelines of the baseball field. Gehringer is dressed in the Detroit Tigers road uniform.
