Lajoie led the AL in batting average five times in his career and four times recorded the highest number of hits. During several of those years with the Naps he and Ty Cobb dominated AL hitting categories and traded batting titles with each other, most notably coming in 1910, when the league's batting champion was not decided until well after the last game of the season and after an investigation by American League President Ban Johnson. Believed to to be taken right around 1910, this circa 1910's image features the future Hall of Famer posed with his most prized possession. Recently discovered in the Brown Brothers Archive, this 3.25x5.25" example has been freshly encapsulated and deem Authentic Type I by PSA.
