Lot 1275: Jimmie Foxx Original Negative
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Ted Williams joined Jimmie Foxx, in William’s rookie year of 1939, to form the best slugging combination in baseball. Prior to Ted’s arrival in Boston, Double X was an unequalled destructive force, with the possible exception of Ruth and Gehrig. Here is the legendary figure at Fenway Park with his old adversary, Yankee pitching great Lefty Gomez. Just look at the size of Foxx’s right arm. No wonder they called him “the Beast”. Original 4”x 5” negative in NRMT condition.
