Roger Bresnahan Fielding photograph

Date1925 or 1926

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length photograph of Roger Bresnahan fielding. Bresnahan, shown in profile, wears a New York Giants road uniform. Standing with feet apart and knees bent, Bresnahan leans forward, resting both hands on each knee. Looking forward, Bresnahan directs his gaze to a point in the distance and to the right of the camera. Bresnahan wears a baseball mitt on his left hand. Taken on the field, portions of the background have been modified for publication. These gray areas surrounding the figure of Bresnahan are not original to the photograph. Stamped on the reverse (not shown), in purple ink, is the phrase, "FILED APR 17 1926." Based on the specific design of the uniform, Bresnahan wears a Giants uniform contemporaneous to when this image was captured, rather than when he played for the team. The dark gray pinstripe uniforms with the multi-colored striped socks were worn by New York from 1925 to 1927. Therefore this image was captured between 1925 and April 1926.
