This sheet music cover is for "Three Strikes Two-Step," a piece by A.W. Bauer, once a member of John Philip Sousa's band, and it is dedicated to the baseball team Sousa fielded from his musicians. The cover pairs the title with a halftone photograph of the players, a reproduction method that let music publishers show real people rather than drawn illustrations. Published in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, around 1902 by Bauer Bros. Music Co., it reflects how popular both Sousa's band and baseball were in the early 1900s, when touring bandsmen often took the field against local teams in their spare time.
