1848 Baseball Daguerreotype on Mastro..
Posted By: barrysloate
Jason- here is the picture of the ambro I feel may be the earliest image extant showing ballplayers holding equipment. Obviously, there is the possibility of dissenting opinions. The man on the left is wearing the earrings, although you won't be able to see it. The man on the right has a baseball in his right hand, and they have a bat across their laps. It is nicely hand-colored, perhaps a bit over rouged on the cheeks. I dated it ca. 1858, but that's an educated guess. Hope the image is clear enough. The actual photo wasn't crystal clear but we lost a little resolution here.
