Foxx has always been one of my favorites. Somewhat overlooked when talking about the greats.

Yeah, for whatever reason it seems there are no famous anecdotes or quotes about him (or by him), no particularly memorable home runs or moments that defined him, no great controversies or scandals, no records, mediocre nicknames.

I think "The Beast" is a pretty neat nickname!

My sentiments exactly. "The Beast" and "Double X" are both tremendous.

Here he is during his post-career days. His career was the inspiration for the Jimmy Dugan character in A League Of Their Own, although his attitude was 180 degrees from that of Dugan.

i have never seen this pic of jimmy foxx in his cowboy hat.

jimmy foxxx looks like a movie star of days gone by. he would have made an excellent action hero in the movies.

is that one of the yawkey's with him?

thanks for posting,
jsq

That's former Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey with Foxx, Lefty Grove, Pinky Higgins and someone else.
