EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated July 31, 1869, showcases the First Nine of the Cincinnati Red Stockings Base Ball Club. The image features individual portraits of each team member arranged around an illustration of a uniformed player casually leaning on his bat. The Red Stockings, considered the first fully professional baseball team, revolutionized the sport by playing for wages and touring extensively. The team members depicted in this print include: front row, left to right, George Wright, Orlando C. Foster, and Harry Wright; middle row, left to right, Deufel Detavernier, Cal McVey, and Charlie Bonham; and back row, left to right, Cap Anson, Hank Monaghan, and Dick McBride. Each player's name is inscribed below their portrait, adding a personal touch to this historical piece. The Red Stockings dominated the baseball landscape during the late 1860s and early 1870s, winning the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players championship in 1869 and 1870. Their success paved the way for the modern professional baseball era. This print serves as a testament to their groundbreaking achievements and the early days of baseball history. The Red and White uniforms, complete with the distinctive red stockings, add to the authenticity and charm of this image. The combination of individual portraits and the team image creates a unique and engaging representation of the First Nine of the Cincinnati Red Stockings Base Ball Club.
