The title, "Pittsburgh pitchers," points to a pair of ballplayers who threw for one of the city's teams, most likely the Pirates, though the record does not name the men or date the negative. The Bain News Service, which supplied the newspapers of the period, sent photographers to ballparks and sporting events from the 1900s through the 1910s, so the picture likely belongs to that stretch of baseball history. Because the title came from unverified notes written by the agency, it is worth treating the attribution as a starting point for further research rather than a settled fact.
