The caption on this glass negative names Joe Bush of the A's, most likely the Philadelphia Athletics, the American League club Bush pitched for in the 1910s. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the Bain News Service noted, so the exact occasion remains unconfirmed. Bain's New York operation supplied newspapers with photographs of ballplayers, boxers and public figures, and pictures like this show how sports stars were presented to a broad readership before radio broadcasts became common. Glass negatives of this kind are now valued as a record of how the press photographed athletes in the early twentieth century.
