Hot Springs, Arkansas, was a favored spring training site for the Pittsburgh National League club, and this glass negative shows the team at the resort town known for its thermal baths. The Bain News Service made the image, and its caption data gives the date as March 22, 1912, though the record's date field reads March 12. Because that information is unverified, the exact day is worth checking against other sources. Bain's plates from this period offer a useful view of early professional baseball and the travel that big league teams made each spring.
