1915 Head to toe action photograph of the only man to rival Ty Cobb in hitting at the time, Benny Kauff from the Brooklyn Tip Tops. He was in the midst of his second consecutive batting title in the league and this is among his greatest images ever taken. From the lens of photographer Charles Conlon and with his handwritten notes on the back, this is among his greatest images ever taken! The photo has a very small rip at the top and some editorial tracing from publication, but it presents beautifully. Offered here for the first time ever!
