Baseball team naked

Description:Email In the Library of Congress' Great Hall — above the giant marble Corinthian columns, the sculptures of Minerva and George Washington, and tributes to poets, artists and scientists — there is something quite astonishing. It's a photo of a 19th century baseball team. And of the nine men, one holds a catcher's chest protector and another has a catcher's mask, but otherwise, they're stark naked. The painting, which has been on the library's ceiling since , is one of the images in the new coffee-table book Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress. A fine day play baste ball in the campus but am beaten for I miss both catching and striking the Ball.
