    He looks quite little one great-uncle of mine. Who was not in baseball. Great capture
  • Wystan said:
    That photo is not a "capture" -- it was a posed shot.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    victuallers2: thank you for the additional information about Howie Camnitz. We will add some of it to the record for this image when we update.
  • Wystan said:
    The above photo probably was taken in the summer of 1913, when Howie Camnitz was still pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates. His start that year was lackluster, so he was banished to the Philadelphia team, where he didn't do much better. Early in 1914, he grabbed a chance to return to Pittsburgh by joining a new team, the Pittsburgh Rebels -- one of eight teams in the newly-formed Federal League (whose existence was brief). The report of his leap to the Federals likely was the news event that impelled the Bain News Agency to circulate this photo of Camnitz to its subscribers. Camnitz continued with the Rebels in 1915, but retired from baseball in that year, because of problems with his pitching arm.

    This is not a photograph of Japan.

    "Piracy through a Barbarian Lens" is a paper which discusses this incident, this photo, and their treatment by historians and anthropologists. I don't see it published anywhere, but the author could be contacted.
  • Timothy Takemoto said:
    I have written to the author.
