Thomas M Swem (1848-1931): St. Paul, Minnesota photographer born in Ohio. Operated a studio in St. Paul from 1882-1900. Passed away in Medford, Oregon 1931.
Here's a collection of his cabinet cards at the Minnesota Historical Society. Nearly 100 images without one being a baseball player, mostly portraits of "actual" people including members of fraternal orders, firemen, servicemen, women, families, etc. The ballplayer seems to be a unique image (to view his other cabinets click "see related records") : http://collections.mnhs.org/cms/part...,%20Thomas%20M. Great image! Last edited by pariah1107; 04-08-2014 at 09:07 AM.

+ 1 on the great image. The interesting/funny thing about it is, to me anyway, is that outside of the shoes and stockings, is that well over 100+ years later he's attired just like a lot of people I know, including myself. I would love to own those shoes and if I could afford a period warm-up sweater I would wear them both around town. My interpretation is the guy is a civilian who loves baseball.
