Description

Unique glossy 6.5 x 8.25 close-up photo of Cobb in a suit and tie, signed and inscribed in fountain pen to the Yankee Hall of Famer, "To Tony Lazzeri, From Ty Cobb, 'Hey Tony.'" Matted to an overall size of 12 x 14. In fine condition, with light surface creases to Cobb's face. This fantastic presentation portrait represents a dichotomy between baseball legends—while Ty Cobb's legacy was that of a fierce base runner, Tony Lazzeri was remembered as a gentleman on the base paths, with his obituary memorializing him as a competitor 'never known to give an opposing player the 'spikes.'' A significant token of respect presented from one great ballplayer to another. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
