Large and sweeping 1931 photograph of the pre-game festivities in San Francisco as the NEW Seals Stadium is dedicated and the PCL season is opened! Baseball icon Ty Cobb opened the season with the first hit (ceremonial, from a ball pitched by mayor Angelo Rossi). The image captures Cobb as he connects for the ceremonial hit. Issued by Acme and stamped on the back with a full paper caption, this is the only example of this photograph we have ever seen!
