EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping up to the plate in style is Owen Wilson, right fielder for Pittsburgh's National League team in this photograph taken by George Graham Bain of the renowned Bain News Service. Dated back to 1911, this black and white print captures a moment of pure athleticism as Wilson prepares to face off against his opponents at Forbes Field (now known as PNC Park). With his trusty baseball bat held firmly in hand, Wilson's confidence is palpable as he surveys the playing field with an air of quiet determination. A true pioneer on the diamond, Owen Wilson was a standout player for Pittsburgh during this era of Major League Baseball.
This photograph not only showcases Wilson's impressive skills but also offers a glimpse into the early days of professional baseball in America. The Bain News Service, founded by George Graham and Grantham Bain in 1898, played a significant role in documenting the sport through their press photography services. This print is just one example of their extensive archive, which provides valuable insight into the history of American sports culture.
As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded not only of Wilson's remarkable abilities but also of the rich heritage and tradition that underpin America's national pastime.
