EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping up to the mound in his Detroit AL uniform is Bill McTigue, a talented pitcher who took the baseball world by storm in 1916. Captured on glass negative by renowned photographer George Graham Bain of the esteemed Bain News Service, this historic print showcases McTigue's confident demeanor as he prepares to throw another strike.
A dominant force on the diamond during his playing days with Detroit AL (now known as the Tigers), McTigue was a fan favorite for his impressive pitching skills and charismatic personality. This rare photograph offers a glimpse into the early 20th century world of Major League Baseball, where players like McTigue were revered for their athletic prowess.
The image is rendered in striking black-and-white tones, with Bain's masterful use of light and shadow capturing every detail of McTigue's uniform and facial expression. This iconic print has been preserved as part of the Library of Congress' esteemed collection, a testament to its significance in American sporting history.
