Here is "Double XX", also later known as "Beast", when he was more fittingly 'Baby Beast". Jimmie Foxx is only 20-years-old in this photo, not yet having grown muscles on muscles, yet he hit .328 for the Philadelphia Athletics this season with a .964 OPS. He may be posing in this photo, but his eyes are lasered on the ball, real or imaginary. Exceptional image by Underwood & Underwood. Incidentally, many of the Underwood and Underwood baseball photos were taken by the one and only Charles Conlon. Beautiful condition and even more beautiful silver gelatin print. Measures 5x7".
