Ed Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves was coming into the 1955 season having hit 40 homers in consecutive years and would make this one his third in a row! With all due respect to his Hall of Fame contemporaries, he was the epitome of a pure power hitter in the National League! The offered photograph captures Mathews in uniform from early in his career, showing the intensity that led to his success at the plate. Taken by noted photographer William C. Greene and stamped on the back, this is one of his greatest images ever offered to the public.
