Addendum: The image dates to 1908-09 based on the uniform style and Jennings tenure with the team. The Tigers won the pennant both seasons with Cobb, still in his early twenties, hitting .350 over that span.

Nice image of the Detroit Tigers bench during their American League pennant winning season of 1907. Ty Cobb is sixth from the left, looking like a baby - he was only 20 years old, but already in his third big league season. He would hit .350 this season with 119 RBI. At far left is Hughie Jennings, Hall of Famer as a shortstop, and in '07 the Tigers' manager. Famous for stomping the ground, waving his arms and screaming his rallying cry of "Ee-yah!" from his third base coaching box, Jennings led the Tigers to pennants in his first three seasons as manager, 1907-9. Type 1.   Size 8x5.5".
