Luis Olmo Posed Batting photograph

Date1942

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Luis Olmo posed batting in a Brooklyn Dodgers home uniform taken from the waist up. Olmo's body is facing the camera, while his head is turned towards his left shoulder. Based on the "Health" patch seen on the left sleeve of Olmo's uniform, the photograph was most likely taken in 1942. The "Health" patches were worn during the 1942 season as part of a wartime health and fitness awareness campaign.
