As 1930 started to slip away, Bobby Jones needed one more victory to capture the most improbable feat in sports history, the "Grand Slam." His last opponent for that crown was Gene Homans at Merion Cricket Club as the two vied for the U.S. Amateur title. Here we see Homans on that day driving the ball as the world watched and waited for history... they saw it! Jones defeated Homans 8 and 7 to capture the Grand Slam and forever etch his name among the greatest athletes of all time! A beautiful image with crystal clarity issued by Acme and with a full paper caption on the back, this presents well with one corner chip off the lower right. A rare image!
