Catching a ground ball

Description
-
Sepia-toned image of a man with a baseball glove leaning down to catch a ball. The play is in an open field, and two other men are visible in the distance, as are a number of houses and what could be a covered bridge. Bare hills fill the background of the scene. Baseball had been a popular sport in Oregon since the mid-1860s, and professional teams were fielded as early as the 1890s. Baseball was also played casually by many groups, due to the relatively easy rules and the minimal equipment required.
