John J. Healey, Pitcher, Indianapolis, from the series Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This 1887 cabinet card photograph by Goodwin & Company features John J. Healey, a pitcher for the Indianapolis baseball team. Healey is shown in a standard baseball uniform, posed with a serious expression and holding a baseball in his throwing hand. The image was part of the popular "Old Judge Cigarettes" series, which used baseball cards to promote the brand. The cabinet card format was common in the late 19th century and was popular for portraits and other photographic subjects. These cards are a valuable piece of baseball history and an interesting example of early commercial photography.
