EDITORS COMMENTS
Tom Hughes, a prominent figure in the early history of baseball, is depicted in this photograph taken by Harris & Ewing around 1912-1913. Hughes, born Thomas James Hughes, was an accomplished pitcher in the American League, most notably for the Washington Senators, also known as the "Washington Americans" during this time. The image captures Hughes in a full-length portrait, standing confidently with a baseball in hand, his pitching stance poised and ready. His long, lean frame earned him the nickname "Long Tom," a moniker that added to his intrigue and legend on the diamond. The photograph was taken during a pivotal period in baseball history, as the sport was growing in popularity and undergoing significant changes. The image is a testament to the dedication and skill of the players, who helped shape the game into the national pastime we know today. Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., captured this moment in time with exceptional clarity and detail. The black-and-white glass negative, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, preserves the essence of Hughes' character and athleticism for future generations to appreciate. The photograph features Hughes dressed in his baseball uniform, with a determined expression on his face and an air of confidence that speaks to his talent and experience on the mound. The image is a valuable addition to any collection showcasing the history of baseball and the men who made it great. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the people and events that shaped the sport we love. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of "Long Tom" Hughes and the role he played in the annals of baseball history.
