The name printed above the player, Nunamaker, points to Leslie "Les" Nunamaker, a catcher who spent several seasons with the Boston Red Sox in the early 1910s. That was a busy stretch for the club, which moved into the newly built Fenway Park in 1912 and went on to win the World Series in 1912 and 1915. Action shots of players on the field from this era are scarce, since cameras were bulky and sharp pictures of live play were hard to get, so a posed or mid-motion image like this one shows how players and photographers worked together to record the game. Its caption and background make it a useful window into the team's daily life during the decade.
