    From the angle of his wrist, I'm guessing this is some sort of tossback to the catcher?

    Interesting that the majority of the images here have players choking up on the bat?

    In the "deadball" era, the ball was softer, mushier, and didn't carry off the bat like it does today. It was largely futile for batters to hold the bat at the bottom and swing with all their might. Choking up on the bat gave them much greater bat control so they could find success by "hitting them where they ain't."
