1954 Photograph of rookie Al Kaline at spring training with the Detroit Tigers and posing in uniform with three of his teammates. Dated from March 14, 1954, well before the season started, making this one of the earliest images of Kaline in a Tigers uniform that is known to exist. Issued by the Associated Press and with a full paper caption on the back, the photo grades nearly perfect and comes pre-certified by PSA with a sticker on the back (we do not have the LOA but a replacement can be easily ordered).
