EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Bob Shawkey, also known as "Philadelphia Al," in mid-pitch for the American League baseball team during the 1913 season. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases Shawkey's intense focus and determination as he throws the ball towards home plate. Born in 1887, Shawkey began his professional baseball career in the minor leagues before joining the Philadelphia Americans in 1912. Known for his powerful pitching arm, Shawkey quickly became a valuable asset to the team. In this photograph, he is seen wearing the team's uniform, complete with the distinctive "A" emblem on his chest. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent photography studio based in Washington D.C. at the time. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902, was known for its high-quality glass negatives and innovative photographic techniques. This particular photograph is part of the Harris Ewing Collection, which is now housed in the Library of Congress. Despite his impressive pitching abilities, Shawkey's baseball career was cut short by injury. He played only one more season before retiring. However, this photograph serves as a lasting testament to his skill and dedication to the sport. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the early days of baseball in America. With its timeless composition and powerful sense of action, this photograph continues to captivate audiences today, making it a valuable addition to any collection of sports or American history.
