    $19.95

    This photograph showcases Pete Compton, a baseball player from St. Louis, captured at Hilltop Park in New York City in 1912. Known for his time with the St. Louis Browns, Compton was active in the early 20th century baseball landscape, a time when the sport was evolving rapidly, attracting more fans and visibility. Taken by the Bain News Service, the image offers a glimpse into a moment of American sports history when the National League and American League were fiercely competing for dominance in professional baseball.

    Hilltop Park, where this photograph was taken, was significant as the home field for the New York Highlanders, who later became known as the New York Yankees. The park was in operation from 1903 until 1913, allowing fans to witness the early years of what would become a storied franchise. This image not only highlights a player but also places him in a pivotal location in baseballs history, where numerous legends would soon make their mark.

    The photograph captures a crucial period in baseball, characterized by the transition from the rough-and-tumble game of the 19th century to the more organized and commercially successful sport it is today. Research by the Society for American Baseball Research updated the initial caption, shedding light on the importance of accurate historical documentation. This image serves as an artifact of the time, providing enthusiasts and scholars with a visual connection to the past.
