Important 1927 photograph of Ty Cobb doing the unthinkable, jumping from the Detroit Tigers and signing a contract with a rival squad, the Philadelphia Athletics. Seen here with Connie Mack and Thomas Shibe, he was able to get more money than Babe Ruth, which was what Cobb wanted all along. This is one of the only images of Cobb signing his contract with the Athletics we have ever seen and it presents well, issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well.
