Circa 1910 glass plate negative features Joe Tinker in full Chicago uniform warming up for a game. With the Cubs, Tinker was a part of a great double-play combination with teammates Johnny Evers and Frank Chance that was immortalized as "Tinker-to-Evers-to-Chance" in the poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon."
