Ty Cobb – At the World Series, 1907

Ty Cobb at the West Side Grounds in Chicago during the 1907 World Series. Simply one of the best early images of Cobb around. The original negative is in the Chicago History Museum which has labeled it as taken during the 1907 World Series. Additionally, a very similar sketched image of Cobb appeared in an April 1908 newspaper, the sketch is obviously based off our image with Cobb and his bat both tilted to fit in newspaper column.

This is an early print from the original negative, likely in the 1930s or 1940s.
