1940 Artistic photograph of the batting grip of the great Johnny Mize. This was Mize's breakout year when he would smash 43 Home Runs and knock in 137 RBI's so being the subject of an artistic study of the individual characteristics that made these numbers possible! People often talk about the players who suffered from WWII and it seems Mize's name is never mentioned, but if you even give him average statistics for the three seasons he missed and we would be talking about one of the greatest players of his generation! Issued by Acme and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is a work of baseball art that could be hanging in a museum or gallery.
