Upon Bottomley's passing in 1959, part of his personal items that transferred over to his wife Betty was this large collection of 75 family photos, some dating back to his early childhood days. The diminutive black and white snapshots offer a glimpse into the life of Jim Bottomley long before he became the baseball great so beloved by millions. Scenery, events, and people, some of which include him in the shot, help make up the memories of the famed Hall of Famer. A fantastic look at life through the eyes of Sunny Jim Bottomley.
