A powerful left handed swinger, Goslin was an American League RBI leader (1924), American League batting champion (1928), and a two-time World Series Champion. The New Jersey native would be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1968. This photograph features a profile of Goslin with his Detroit Tigers cap. He has signed the bottom of the picture in black ink.
