1954-67 Jimmie Foxx Post Retirement “Seattle Times” Original News Photo (“Seattle Times” Hologram/MEARS LOA)

After the lights went out on his outstanding Hall of Fame caliber career, Jimmie Foxx didn't really slow down much. As this nine-photo offering indicates, Foxx kept busy by playing in Old Timers games, attending functions and smiling through all of it, even during a hospital stay. Reverse includes: Affixed cutlines, editorial notations, date stamps, publication/photographer stamps and a Seattle Times hologram.

The Seattle Times originated as the Seattle Press-Times, a four page newspaper founded in 1891 with a daily circulation of 3,500, which Main’es teacher and attorney Alden J. Blethen bought in 1896. This is an original photo, in many cases a Type 1 printed at the time of the event. File copies or type 2 photos are also found, and can be distinguished by the markings on the reverse.
