Hal Newhouser photograph

Datepossibly 1953

DescriptionA black-and-white, head and shoulders photograph of Hal Newhouser dressed in a Detroit Tigers home uniform. Based on the uniform and the stamp on the reverse (not shown), the photograph may have been taken in 1953. Newhouser is looking directly at the camera and is smiling. The image caption on the back (not shown) reads, "Tigers Release Newhouser. Detroit: Tiger pitcher Hal Newhouser was given his unconditional release by the Detroit baseball club. The Tiger front office requested wa![i]vers from other American League clubs. The step automatically took the 31-year-old lefthander off the Tiger roster. He is now free to sign with anyone else. Newhouser's best year was in 1944 when he won 29 games and lost only five."
