DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Pie Traynor captured swinging a bat on the sidelines of a baseball field.

Traynor is dressed in a Pittsburgh Pirates home uniform. Forbes Field is visible in the background. A newspaper caption affixed to the back of the photograph (not shown) states, "R, Third Base." Based on Traynor's uniform and his time with the Pirates, this photograph was taken between 1923 and 1927.
