From 1921 through 1930, a young George E. Outland, who would go on to be a Yale Ph.D. and become a professor and United States Congressman, documented his love for baseball by arriving early at major league and Pacific Coast League ballgames armed with his camera and an album of his own photographs. He used his photographs to gain access to some of the greatest players and ballparks of his era.Collected here are more than 400 of Outland's photographs from the twenties, along with the stories of the ballplayers and ballparks depicted.
