The caption identifies this glass negative as Terry McGovern, a New York National League ballplayer, photographed on the field. Many readers will know the name from prizefighting, since McGovern was a celebrated featherweight and bantamweight champion in the early 1900s, so the baseball credit is worth noting. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency whose glass negatives record the city's sports figures and street life in the early twentieth century. Its date of 1907 comes from later research by the Society for American Baseball Research rather than from the original notes.
