Grover Cleveland Alexander photograph

Date1921

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length action photograph of Grover Cleveland Alexander. Shown in profile, Alexander wears a Chicago Cubs home uniform. Standing on his front left leg, Alexander rests only the toe of right shoe on the ground. Extending his right arm shoulder height in front of his body, his gloved right hand rests down by his side. He looks forward to a point in the distance and to the right of the camera. Captured on the field, a teammate and the scoreboard can be seen in the distance. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Alexander, this image was captured in 1921.
