A studio portrait of a woman posed in a baseball uniform and holding a glove makes an unusual entry on a board otherwise filled with ballpark scenes and team photographs. Portraits like this one were often made to show a player's name and team in a formal setting, since early baseball photography generally relied on staged studio work before candid action shots became practical. Women's baseball was active in the early twentieth century, and images of female players in uniform help document a part of the sport's history that is easy to overlook. Her relaxed smile and direct gaze are worth noticing, as they suggest the picture was meant to present her as a proud athlete rather than a novelty.
