Original glass plate negative capturing Detroit Tigers manager Hughie Jennings hitting fungoes during pregame infield practice. Two additional unidentified Detroit Tigers players can also be seen in the photo. Jennings was manager of Detroit from 1907 to 1920. Although no year is listed, the uniform style shown here dates to the 1907-1912 time period. Both "Jennings" and "Detroit" are written along the right border. The negative (7x5") displays several small areas of emulsion loss and bubbling along the top border. Culled from the legendary Brown Brothers Photo Archive. (Please note: the positive image seen on our website is for illustrative purposes only and does not accompany the negative; only the negative is offered in this lot.)
