This photograph documents the 1913 tour of the United States by a Chinese baseball team, an unusual event at a time when Chinese players were rarely seen in American ballparks. Baseball had reached China through missionary schools, YMCAs and returning students in the decades before, and touring squads like this one drew curious crowds and newspaper coverage. Images of the team give a useful record of how the sport was crossing the Pacific and of the mix of novelty and cultural exchange that surrounded these visits.
