This 1912 glass negative shows Willie Hogan of the St. Louis Browns, photographed at Hilltop Park in New York, where the Browns played as visitors against the New York Highlanders. The park stood in Upper Manhattan's Washington Heights and was home to the Highlanders from 1903 until they moved to the Polo Grounds in 1913. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of a news photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of sports and events in New York in the early 1900s. Its title and date were later confirmed by baseball historians at the Society for American Baseball Research.
