Roger Bresnahan Posed Batting photograph

Datebetween 1902 and 1904

DescriptionA sepia toned full-length posed photograph of Roger Bresnahan batting. Facing the camera, wearing a New York Giants uniform, Bresnahan is shown in his batting stance. Standing with feet apart and knees bent, Bresnahan supports the majority of his weight on his front left leg. Bresnahan places right hand over left on the handle of the bat, holding the bat chest height, angled backwards above his right shoulder. Bresnahan looks forward and down. Captured at home plate, fellow players and a portion of the stadium can be seen in the background. Based on the specific design of the uniform worn by Bresnahan, this image was captured between 1902, his first year with the team, and 1904, the final year the Giants wore jerseys that read "NEW YORK."
