Frank Chance and Miller Huggins Shaking Hands photograph

Date1923

DescriptionA black-and-white full-length photograph of Frank Chance and Miller Huggins shaking hands. Chance, left, wears a Boston Red Sox road uniform and sweater. Standing with his left hand behind Huggins' back, Chance shakes Huggins' right hand with his right hand. Huggins, right, wears a New York Yankees home uniform. Huggins rests his gloved left hand on his left hip, while extending his right hand to shake with Chance. Facing the camera, both men look forward, establishing eye contact. Captured in-game, the dugout and an occupied stadium is visible in the background. Based on the career of Chance, this image was taken in 1923, the sole year he managed Boston. Stamped on the reverse (not shown), in blue ink, is the phrase, "TIME USED APR 19 1923," a probable publication date of this image.
