Frank Chance Fielding photograph

Date1903

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length action photograph of Frank Chance fielding the ball. Chance, facing the camera, wears a Chicago Cubs home uniform. Captured mid-jump, Chance is suspended in the air. Jumping to field the ball, Chance extends his gloved left hand over his head. His bent right arm is held across his body waist height. Chance looks up to his raised left hand. Taken on the field, an unoccupied grandstand is visible in the background. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Chance, this image dates from 1903, the sole year Chicago wore two-tone caps and jerseys without the team name or logo.
