Here the subject is a pairing rather than a single figure: Harry "Smokey Joe" Wood of the Boston Americans and Jeff Tesreau of the New York Giants, two of the best pitchers of their day, caught together on the glass negative. The picture was taken during the 1912 World Series, the matchup between Boston and New York that Boston won in eight games, and that Series is remembered for its dramatic finish. The photograph comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news pictures to newspapers, and its glass plate is now part of the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress.
