Dateprobably 1952

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Nellie Fox captured in his batting stance. Fox has a straight face and is holding his baseball bat up. He is dressed in a Chicago White Sox road uniform. An unidentified stadium is visible in the background. The caption on the back of the photograph (not shown) states, "Nelson Fox, firebrand second baseman and a big wheel in the White Sox attack, suffered a severe cut over his left eye when struck by a ball off his own bat in bunting practice before today's game at the Stadium. Dr. William Dwyer of Lenox Hill Hospital, a spectator, hurried from grandstand and administered first aid. Fox was later sent to Lenox Hill Hospital for examination to determine is he suffered a concussion..." Based on the caption and Fox's uniform, this photograph was probably taken in 1952.
