May 14, 1913. "Young woman in pitching stance, full-length studio portrait, wearing a baseball uniform." Gelatin silver print, Stadler Photographing Co., New York-Chicago. View full size.
Am I reading this photo the wrong way? Looks to me like she's a right-hander in a left-hander stance? Or maybe the plate is behind her, past the tree, and it's her fancy doozy hop-a-long delivery? Or is that how they did it back then?
What a joyous picture. But when did we start using baseball gloves instead of oven mitts?
