Description
Photograph of a runner touching base as a player jumps to catch the ball, ca.1940. A man on the left wearing a white baseball uniform with the word "Spartans" written on the front bends his arm as he rounds the base by touching it with his right foot. To the right of center, a baseball player with the number twenty on his jersey faces away from the camera while elevated into the air. He extends his right arm over head with his baseball glove on his hand while keeping his feet close together and leaning towards the right. A small stadium of fans are visible in the background behind the metal fence that surround the baseball field.
