EDITORS COMMENTS
Step up to the plate with Frank 'Home Run' Baker's iconic batting grip! This rare photograph print captures a moment in time for one of baseball's greatest players, circa 1912. As part of the legendary Philadelphia Athletics team, Baker was known for his impressive left-handed swing and record-breaking home runs.
This striking black-and-white image showcases Baker's unique grip on his trusty bat - a testament to his exceptional dexterity and mastery over the game. The photograph is attributed to Bain News Service, one of the most renowned press photography agencies during this era.
As part of Heritage Images' extensive collection, this print offers a glimpse into baseball history as it was being written by Baker himself. His impressive career spanned multiple seasons with the Athletics and even included stints in Washington D.C., where he played for the Senators from 1922 to 1924.
This photograph is not only a tribute to Baker's remarkable skills but also an artifact of early-20th-century American culture, highlighting the country's passion for baseball during its Golden Age. With its crisp contrast and timeless appeal, this print invites you to step into the world of vintage sports photography.
