1937 Photograph of heavyweight champion of the world Joe Louis as he shows off his uniform from his ball team appropriately named the "Bombers." Louis was a popular figure and was quite an athlete away from boxing making this a really cool image issued by Acme and full paper caption on the back. Condition and quality make this a fantastic specimen made important by the fact that Louis was the Heavyweight champ, but baseball was still segregated!
