This evocative Type I photograph captures Ty Cobb as he takes in the action out on the field studying his adversaries and watching for any sign of weakness he could seize upon to beat them. If an outfielder was habitually slow in getting a ball back to the infield Cobb could use that to stretch a single to a double. If a catcher was having trouble handling pitches Cobb could use that to swipe a base. To Cobb knowledge was the sixth tool of a ballplayer and this photograph shows him putting it to work. In the 191-16 seasons to which this image dates to Cobb batted a combined .370 and led the league in stolen bases and runs twice and batting average and hits once. One cant help wondering how many of his 62 doubles and 23 triples were thanks to his close observation of the other team. This type 1 photo measures 6-3/4 x 8-3/4. The reverse bears no markings or stamps. A rarely captured illustration of what made Ty Cobb the great ballplayer he was. The photograph has been encapsulated and graded Type I by PSA.
