EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom Hughes, depicted in this photograph, was a notable baseball player during the early 1910s at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Hughes, whose real name was Thomas James Hughes, was a key member of the University's baseball team. Known for his impressive height and long reach, Hughes earned the nickname "Long Tom." This image captures Hughes in a focused and determined pose, holding a baseball bat and preparing for a pitch. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C. during the 20th century. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and produced numerous photographs documenting American life during the 1910s. Hughes' baseball career extended beyond the University of Virginia, as he also played for the Washington American League team during this time. The exact dates of these games are not known, but this photograph is believed to have been taken between 1912 and 1915. This image is a testament to the rich history of baseball in the United States and the important role that photographers like Harris & Ewing played in documenting the past. It also offers a glimpse into the life of a talented athlete, "Long Tom" Hughes, and his contributions to the game of baseball during an era when it was rapidly gaining popularity.
