Description
-
A batter in a Detroit Tigers uniform is watching the ball he just hit, while the catcher and umpire react simultaneously as well. The photo was taken during a game at Fenway Park, but whereas the catalog description claims the batter's identity is unknown, the batters resemblance to Hank Greenberg is uncanny. Based on the batters unique physical features, swing, and follow through it is believed this batter may be Hank Greenberg.
