Striking original news service photo featuring slugger Jimmy Foxx peering over his shoulder towards the camera. Foxx is warming up with an armload of lumber at what appears to be training camp in the spring. Approx. 4.5" x 4.5" doubleweight photo has been unevenly trimmed around the edges with a newspaper clipping affixed to verso. Verso also includes a date stamp indicating the photo was published on Dec. 11, 1935 which would place it firmly between his final season with the Philadelphia Athletics and his first with the Boston Red Sox. Guaranteed Type 1.
