Honus Wagner photograph

Date1938 May 22

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Honus Wagner in probably the dugout. Wagner is captured leaning against the wall of the dugout, with his arms resting on top of the dugout wall. Wagner is looking up and has an expression of discontent. Wagner is dressed in the Pittsburgh Pirates road uniform. A caption (not shown) on the back of the photograph states, "A recent photograph of Honus Wagner." Another caption on the back of the photograph states, "Honus Wagner, Pittsburgh Pirates coach, and oldtime baseball star himself, has reason to look down-at-the-mouth. The Flying Dutchman saw his Pirates take an 18-to-2 lacing from the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds on May 22. 5-22-38." Based on the caption and his time with the Pirates as a coach, this photograph was taken on May 22, 1938.
