EDITORS COMMENTS
Step up to the plate with two baseball legends: Eddie Plank and Chief Bender! This stunning photograph print captures a moment in time for these Philadelphia Athletics stars as they take on their opponents in 1911. The iconic duo, both Hall of Famers, are caught mid-action by renowned photographer George Graham Bain's lens.
Eddie "Gettysburg Eddie" Plank, the legendary left-handed pitcher, is known for his impressive career stats and World Series wins. Chief Bender, also a talented hurler from California Native American heritage, was an eight-time All-Star and won three consecutive ERA titles (1910-1912).
This black-and-white image showcases their skills on the diamond as they face off against each other in this historic matchup. The photograph's crisp lines and textures evoke the era of early 20th-century baseball, when these two greats dominated the game.
A piece of sports history preserved for eternity by Bain News Service, a pioneering press photography agency that captured some of America's most iconic moments during its heyday from 1898 to 1922. This photograph print is now part of the Library of Congress' Heritage Images collection.
