1929 Jimmie Foxx Underwood & Underwood Photo (PSA Type I)
Presented is an Underwood and Underwood Original News Service photo of "The Beast," Hall of Fame slugger Jimmie Foxx. Also known as "Double X," Foxx was a prodigious home run hitter who blasted 534 home runs, at the time of his retirement a total second only to that of Babe Ruth. The Beast played with the Philadelphia Athletics (1925-35), Boston Red Sox (1936-42), Chicago Cubs (1942 and '44) and the Philadelphia Phillies (1945). A very muscular 5'11", Foxx garnered most of his fame from his days with the Athletics and the Red Sox. He was a 3-time American League MVP, a 2-time AL batting champ, a Triple Crown winner, and the leading home run hitter in the Major Leagues for four seasons. In 1932, Foxx chased Babe Ruth's then single-season home run record of 60, and the 8-time All-Star finished the season with 58 round-trippers. After his playing career, Foxx managed the Fort Wayne Daisies in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and he and Hank Wilson were the models for the broad portrayal of manager Jimmy Dugan in the film <em>A League of Their Own</em>, although players in the league said that Jimmie Foxx was a gentleman, unlike the fictional Jimmy Dugan.
