Eddie Yost Photos with Tigers
 
A very underrated player that has a surprising little following. Anyway, I am looking for a photo of Eddie with Detroit. Harder to come by than I would've thought.
Thank you!!!

I found these just by googling.

Eddie Yost was one of my favorite Senators when I was a kid back in the 1950's. "The walking man" led the A.L. in walks 6 times, and he had a total of 1,614 walks for his career (vs. a career total of 1,863 hits). His career BA is a pedestrian .254, but his career OBP is .394. Yost led the A.L. in OBP in 1959 & 1960, his two years with Detroit.

Interesting photo, Val. Looks as if Eddie was at his farm home and put on the uni, grabbed a bat and went into the backyard with a photographer to get the shot.

Might be a ST shot?

Thank you, Otis. I'm looking for a nice, clean shot--perhaps a wire photo? Google images are soft.
