This is something you don't see everyday. Featured above is a vintage 1939 International News press photo of Dodgers third baseman Cookie Lavagetto tagging out Reds outfielder Wally Berger, and emblazoned across the top are the words, "Thrown Out!" It is quite a rarity to see words like that in a press photo.
BTW, the pic above was once part of the George Michael Collection of sliding press photographs. It is currently available for sale through eBay (Auction Link Here).
