Bill Carrigan Throwing a Baseball
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of a page in an unknown book that shows a picture of Bill Carrigan preparing to throw a baseball at an unknown ballpark. The image of Carrigan is on one of the left-hand pages of the book, and a small portion of the text on the right-hand page is also visible. In the full-length picture, Carrigan is wearing a baseball uniform, a glove on his left hand, a catcher’s mask, and a chest protector. He is holding a baseball in his right hand behind his right ear in a throwing position. A section of a grandstand is visible in the background. The photo has a thin black border around all four sides, within a wider white border on the page. A caption below the photograph reads, “CARRIGAN, Capable young catcher of the Boston Americans.”
