This is a photo of the 1917 Oakland Oaks ball club. The shot is focused on nine players who are waiting in relaxed positions in the grass of the outfield. In the center of the picture one player is standing, his arms crossed with his head turned toward the right of the photo. The other players are either sitting, kneeling, and/or generally laying about. All of these players are in uniform. In the background more players are back by the outfield wall.
