It was great to go through the whole gallery. They have so many duplicates-in some cases eight or more identical examples- as well as multiple poses of the same player, it's too bad they don't deaccession some of it.

And if you want to see the best photograph in the whole collection, and in my opinion the most important baseball photograph in existence, go to page 45 and click on the photo of the 1860 Excelsiors. It's a mammoth plate salt print, with Jim Creighton holding the baseball.
