A first baseman, Foxx made his debut with the Philadelphia Athletics when he was still a junior in high school. Foxx ended his career as a pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies, starting two games and compiling a 1.59 ERA and 1-0 record over 222/3 innings pitched. “Double X” signed this 3 ½ x 5 ½ inch black and white photograph as a member of the Red Sox in black pen.
