EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1912, documents a significant moment in baseball history. The image features Champ Clark, a prominent professional baseball player, extending a handshake to Clark Griffith, the future Hall of Fame Major League Baseball manager and team owner. The scene unfolds in front of a packed crowd, showcasing the excitement and energy surrounding the sport during this era. Champ Clark, dressed in his baseball uniform, is known for his impressive career as a left-handed batter and outfielder. His team, the St. Louis Browns, was a part of the American League at the time. Meanwhile, Griffith, who is also dressed in formal attire, had already made a name for himself as a successful pitcher before transitioning into management and ownership. The handshake between these two baseball luminaries could signify various reasons, such as a mutual respect or a deal made between them. Regardless, this image encapsulates the camaraderie and interconnectedness within the baseball community during the early 1900s. The photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of baseball and the enduring legacy of these two baseball icons. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, captured countless moments of American history, making their work an invaluable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike.
