About the Player
Ty Cobb on Ty Cobb: 'Many fans have asked me why I always swing three bats. Originally it was my intention to make the one bat feel lighter when I went to the plate, and this practice has developed the muscles of my shoulders and back wonderfully, because the three sticks weigh approximately one hundred and twenty ounces. But I have had great luck in hitting while swinging three bats, and I would not give it up now at any price. Aside from the superstition of it, I believe the juggling of three bats, while waiting for my turn, has done me a lot of good, since it has developed me from a rather slight build to a player who is very strong in the back and arms, which strength enables me to drive the ball.”
About the Series
The poses chosen, and treatment of them, try to capture the essence of cabinet photography from the 19th Century and early 20th Century. Sometimes the colors we use transcend that era, verging into Pop Art. The writing on the images mimics a photographer scratching on his glass plate to identify their camera’s subject. Many collectors love these cards. The series consists of 85 cards at a size of 6' x 3.625'.
