This glass negative is catalogued under the title "Foster, Red Sox," which points to a player named Foster and the Boston Red Sox, though the record gives no date and notes that the title comes from caption data the Bain News Service recorded and that has not been independently verified. The Bain News Service was a Manhattan photo agency that supplied newspapers with news and sports pictures, mostly in the first two decades of the 1900s. Its glass plates, often shot for quick newspaper use, are a useful record of the baseball players, crowds, and ballparks of that era.
