The record dates this glass negative to October 9, 1923, and credits it to a player named Young with the New York Giants, whose club was then preparing for the World Series against the Yankees that October. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, sold photographs like this one to newspapers and magazines. The caption data is marked unverified, so the surname is the only identifier to rely on. Negatives of this size, 5 by 7 inches or smaller, were a common format for news photographers of the period, and they preserve fine detail in players' faces and uniforms.
