DescriptionA black-and-white glass plate negative of Boston Bees Wally Berger captured while at bat during a game. Berger has a smile on is face as he completes his swing and his feet twist in the dirt in the batter's box. He is dressed in the Boston Bees uniform but it is indistinguishable whether it is a home or road uniform.

Based on Berger's uniform and his time with the Boston Bees this negative was taken in 1936.
