Jimmie Foxx was a beast! Most people think of him as a slugger with the Philadelphia A's, but some might even remember that he was traded to the Red Sox where he continued to slam balls out of the ballpark. What nobody remembers is that he spent parts of two seasons near the end of his career with the Chicago Cubs. Largely forgotten by newer stars entering the game, images of Foxx in uniform with Chicago are almost impossible to find with this being the ONLY example from the 1942 team we have ever seen. A fantastic and rare piece of baseball history issued by the Wide World Photo company and in nice shape overall.
