Carroll 'Boardwalk' Brown: A Pioneering Baseball Star of the 1910s This photograph, taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1913, showcases Carroll 'Boardwalk' Brown, an exceptional baseball player for the Philadelphia American League team. Brown, born on April 12, 1886, in Waco, Texas, was the first African American pitcher to play in the American League. Brown's nickname, 'Boardwalk,' was given to him due to his smooth and effortless pitching style, which reminded many of the easy gait of people strolling on a boardwalk. In this photograph, Brown is depicted in a full-length pose, wearing his baseball uniform, and exuding an air of focus and determination. His intense gaze and strong posture convey the intensity and concentration required to excel in the sport. This photograph is an invaluable piece of baseball history, as it captures a pivotal moment in the integration of professional sports in the United States. Brown's groundbreaking career paved the way for other African American players to follow in his footsteps and break racial barriers in baseball and other sports. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, was a prominent fixture in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. Their studio produced numerous glass negatives, many of which are now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. This image of Carroll 'Boardwalk' Brown is a testament to their skill and the historical significance of their work.
