This portrait gathers officials of the National League, the senior of the two major leagues at the time, and is dated December 13, 1911. Its maker was the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with news photographs, so the picture was likely taken for quick publication rather than as a formal commission. Winter gatherings of league officials were a regular part of baseball's business calendar, and images like this one document the men who ran the game's administration in the years before the sport's organization became more centralized.
