Four players of the Chicago National League club, Jimmy Lavender, Ward Miller, Charlie Smith, and Tommy Leach, are named in this group portrait from about 1913. The picture comes from the deadball era, when the sport leaned on pitching, bunting, and base running rather than home runs. Team photographs like this were often used for publicity and for trading cards and newspaper features, so they show how players were presented to fans of the time. The record does not say where it was taken, so the setting and pose are worth noticing as much as the faces.
