Ty Cobb and Tony Lazzeri Golfing photograph

Date1939 January

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Ty Cobb and Tony Lazzeri on the golf course. The image caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, "'I didn't dodge that one,' Lazzeri tells Ty Cobb. Tony Lazzeri will wear the Brooklyn Dodgers' livery next season-but he didn't dodge the chance to hand a little ribbing when he took a hole from Ty Cobb in a little winter golfing at the Olympic Club's Lakeside course. Lazzeri, like Cobb, is an avid golfer-and his long career as a Major League baseball player bears his contention that there's something to it." Cobb appears to be signing something as Lazzeri points at Cobb. A caddy is looking on in the background.
