I don't know a whole lot about it yet, but my cousin is researching it. It is an old photo from 1917 of my Great Great Grandfather and 2 brothers. It was given to my Great Grandmother way back then. It shows him and his baseball team from Tempe, Arizona. Will update with info as she learns more about it.

I remember when I was a kid and first saw a real photo postcard of my grandfather in his WWI Navy uniform. Thinking of postcards as things you buy in drug stores and tourist shops, I asked my dad if grandpa had been a professional model and was the postcard sold in stores. Dad explained that it was just a normal family photo.

Nice image.

I have not seen a lot of early baseball from Arizona.
