This photo depicts from left to right: Harry Heilmann (HOF), George Burns (1926 AL MVP), Ty Cobb (HOF), Bobby Veach and Sam Crawford (HOF) posing in the infield of Jungle Park in Waxahachie, Texas. This photo was likely taken the same day as the individual photo of Cobb which is also in the collection.
This photo is remarkable given that it showcases three Hall of Famers and a future MVP posed against the backdrop of the Jungle Park grandstand.
