Caption: Rube Foster
Additional Description: The original description reads: “Men standing behind home plate during a baseball game. Noted baseball pitcher, Rube Foster, is 2nd from right and the man crouching is wearing a ‘Hollywood’ baseball uniform.” While the citation says circa 1929, it is almost certainly several years earlier, considering that Foster was institutionalized in 1926 and stayed there until his death in 1930.
