The record names only the St. Louis base ball club, without a season, roster, or photographer, so the exact team and date remain open. Its two-word spelling of "base ball" points to the nineteenth century, when the sport was organized around clubs that played before crowds in cities like St. Louis. The city fielded some of the era's strongest professional teams, including the Brown Stockings of the National League in the 1870s and the Browns of the American Association, which won four straight pennants from 1885 to 1888. Team portraits from this period often show players in matching uniforms posed with bats, gloves, and a ball, which gives a good sense of how early professional baseball presented itself to the public.
