Datebetween 1907 and 1912, 1951

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of two images of Ty Cobb. The image caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, "The Passage of Time. Ty Cobb, one of baseball's great immortals, is shown at left as he appeared in his Atherton, Calif., home four years ago, and at the right in a batting pose during his playing days with the Detroit Tigers. Aug. 30 marks 50th anniversary of the day when Ty broke into lineup of Tigers and went on to become one of baseball's greatest competitors." On the left, Cobb is shown from thighs up and is dressed in a suit, his gaze beyond the camera. On the right, Cobb is shown in a Detroit Tigers road uniform. He is shown in profile, looking towards the camera. An unidentified stadium in the background. Based on the styling of the uniform, this photograph was probably taken between between 1907 and 1912.
