"Joseph 'Joe' Strauss, 3rd Base, Omaha Omahogs/ Lambs" is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, a collection of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888 to promote Old Judge Cigarettes. The black and white photograph shows a player, likely in mid-play, positioned on the field in his uniform. The player is identified in the caption, as is the team he played for. The card, measuring 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches, is a prime example of 19th-century sports memorabilia and is now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
