Ty Cobb, the fierce Detroit Tigers outfielder, is the subject of this portrait, and the caption card dates it to 1911, a landmark season for him. That year he won the American League batting title with a .420 average, and he ranked among the most famous and combative players of the dead-ball era. The card's reference to medals suggests the photograph may be tied to an award from that year, though the record does not say what the medal was. Cobb's aggressive style and record-setting totals made him a central figure in the sport's early twentieth-century growth.
