Sam Crawford — Detroit Tigers c. 1916

Sam Crawford in an uncharacteristic smiling pose. Here is seen exhibiting his left-handed swing. This photo is by Paul Thompson’s photo agency.

Terry McGreehan, a prominent bat collector, recently acquired a bat believed to be the same same Crawford is holding in the photo. The images of the bat are shared below with his permission.
