This is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, a collection of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888. The card features Kilroy, a pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. The image shows Kilroy in action, standing on a grassy field, with his pitching arm extended towards the camera. The card is a prime example of *early baseball card design,* which often used photographs and simple typography to capture the action of the game. This card is a collectible piece of American sports history and is a testament to the enduring popularity of baseball.
