DescriptionA black-and-white 3/4 length photograph of Jimmie Foxx standing, posed for the photograph, holding a double barrel rifle. Foxx, facing the camera, wears pinstripe dress pants, dress shirt and tie, fedora, and leather letterman-style jacket with the Philadelphia Athletics white elephant logo.
