The player shown here is Slim Sallee, a left-handed pitcher whose nickname was the one most often used for him in the press. The Bain News Service caption identifies him as a St. Louis National League player, and the 1913 date comes from later research by the Society for American Baseball Research. Bain's agency supplied photographs like this one to newspapers and magazines, so the collection preserves a useful record of players and team life from the early 1900s. Sallee pitched for the St. Louis club for much of that decade, which makes this portrait a view of a working ballplayer of the period.
