Jimmie Foxx could crush the baseball. He was the second man in MLB history to hit 500 home runs, after The Babe. He also hit for average as his career .325 average will attest. For 12 straight years he hit 30 or more home runs and drove in more than 100 runs in 13 straight. He had massive arms and I tried to feature that in this painting where he is warming up with something along the lines of a telephone pole! He once hit a legendary dinger into the third deck of the left-field stands at old Yankee Stadium, albeit with a normal bat!
