Incredibly clear and concise 1921 photograph illustrating the split-grip batting form of Hall of Famer Ty Cobb as he waits for the next pitch. The image is one of the greatest ever taken of Cobb batting from head to toe and this is the only original example we have ever seen, displaying well despite some pinholes at the corners. Issued originally by the Keystone View Company and with most of the stamp on the back, this is a special piece of baseball photography capturing the greatest pure hitter in baseball history.
