Jim Bottomley Batting photograph

Datebetween 1925 and 1929

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Jim Bottomley, dressed in a St. Louis Cardinals road uniform, batting. He is captured with the bat over his right shoulder and his torso twisted slightly to the right. Based on his location on the field, this is either a warm up swing or a posed photograph, probably the latter based on the number of people in the stands. An unidentified stadium is in the background. Based on the styling of the uniform, Bottomley's time with the Cardinals, and a date stamped on the reverse (not shown), the photograph was either taken between 1925 and 1926 or 1928 and 1929.
