Yippee! It's Jimmie Foxx!

[Swadewade51]

I'm sorry, how does his mom being from Walton prove that is Jimmie Foxx? Like you said, he grew up in Sudlersville?


Edit: I see others have already looked into and disproven this.

Raised partly there according to who? All you are citing is AI which is not a trusted source what so ever.

Wide waist belts were popular during Jimmy Foxx's youth. Players in the postcard are wearing wide waist belts. Therefore the player seen seated at the far right is wearing Jimmy Foxx's belt.


Brian (I have to admit, the face of that seated player is what I would imagine Jimmy's face would look like when younger)

He has to be trolling; how else to explain his position that relatives are able to provide ironclad identification, while also being unable to recognize other relatives.

FYI, I don't trust Foxx or the guy sitting next to him. Joe Jackson looks legit.

Where is there ANY evidence he lived in or played for an amateur team in Walton, NY???

James Emory Foxx was born on October 22, 1907, in rural Sudlersville on the Eastern Shore of Maryland,[4] to tenant farmers Dell and Mattie Foxx.[5] Dell Foxx had played baseball for a town team when he was younger. Jimmie Foxx did well in school but excelled in sports, particularly soccer, track, and baseball. He played all three sports at Sudlersville High School, and set the state record in both the 220 and 80 yard dash in 1923.[6][7] So great were his athletic exploits he was regarded as "the most promising athletic prospect in the State of Maryland",[6] and a scholarship to the University of Maryland was arranged — in track and field — should he wish to attend.[8] In April 1924, Foxx met with Frank "Home Run" Baker, a former member of Philadelphia Athletics, and then manager of the minor league Class D level Easton Farmers. Baker offered Foxx a contract to play for the Farmers for $100 a month.[9]

So where in that timeline do you sneak in an appearance in Walton???

I thought the photo silliness guy was gone. I guess he was contagious.

Oh, and if we want to trust AI, "I queried Did Jimmie Foxx ever play baseball in Walton, NY"

No, Jimmie Foxx did not play for Walton, NY. Foxx had a long Major League Baseball career with the Philadelphia Athletics, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, and Philadelphia Phillies, beginning his professional career with the Easton minor league club. There is no record of him playing for a team in Walton, NY

I would like to point out that the AI you posted didn't actually say he played there either, just that there was some spurious connection.
