The 1909 St. Louis Cardinals were a club still finding their footing in the National League, and this lineup portrait captures them as they stood that season. Team photographs from the era were usually posed in rows, with players in flannel uniforms and caps, and they served as a record of the roster as much as a keepsake. The 1909 Cardinals finished well down the standings, so the picture is less about a champion than about the ordinary working team of the early modern game. Baseball was then the dominant spectator sport in the country, and images like this one show how clubs presented themselves to fans in the years before radio and televised games.
