Team composite image of the Austin Bills (Misspelled Bulls in our printed catalog) from 1912 featuring eventual Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes. Grimes was a phenom who opened the 1912 season with a minor league team in Eau Claire Wisconsin. The team unfortunately folded mid-season forcing Grimes to look for work elsewhere. He found a home with a team in Austin Minnesota and was a tremendous asset to the team. This composite features Grimes in the center near the pitchers mound. Graded VG 40 by SGC an outstanding pre-rookie image of the Hall of Fame pitcher.
