This is a relatively unusual format of chromolithographic baseball art in which a player's
baseball card image was superimposed over an idyllic scene and used as a postcard. This
handsome fellow is James H. Fogarty, right fielder for the Philadelphia Quakers in 1887.
He was an alumnus of Saint Mary's College of California (site of a World War II nude
body typing photo project) and tragically died at age 27 of tuberculosis.
