Honus Wagner Throwing photograph

Datebetween 1915 and 1919

DescriptionA black-and-white, full length, photograph of Honus Wagner captured after he has just released his throw. Wagner's eyes are glancing to the right with a straight face, as his arms are still in the swinging motion and his right foot is still dangling in mid-air. Behind Wagner is an unidentified Pittsburgh Pirates player who is scratching the back of his neck. Wagner is dressed in the Pittsburgh Pirates road uniform. An unidentified stadium is in the background. Based on Wagner's uniform and his time with the Pirates, this photograph was taken between 1915 and 1919.
