Content description:
This is a photographic negative of a runner sliding home. The catcher (#10) is in a cloud of dust from the slide of the runner. The runner can barely be seen in this photo. The umpire is near the third base line as he watches the play. Two bats that are most likely being held by the on-deck batter are in the far left of the photo. The photo was taken from the first base side of home plate and the third base coach as well as the left field wall can be seen here.
