Leslie Mann Baseball Lantern Slide, No. 38

Mann, Leslie · 1920–1925

Arthur Fletcher, a shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies, stands at home plate at Baker Bowl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fletcher is in the process of completing his batting swing. Fletcher holds the bat with both hands, and has choked up on the bat considerably. Fletcher's right shoulder has dipped in comparison to his front left shoulder as he keeps his feet spread out slightly more than shoulder width apart. A blurry baseball can be seen on the far right middle of the image. There is a player in the background standing alone next to the outfield in foul territory, and two other people can be seen talking in the background near the stands.
