This 1889 baseball card from the Old Judge series features Edward C. "Mouse" Glenn, a left fielder for the Sioux City Corn Huskers. The card, part of a set produced by Goodwin & Company to promote Old Judge cigarettes, depicts Glenn in a classic batting pose, with a ball in mid-air and his bat poised to strike. These small, collectible cards, measuring only 2 11/16 x 1 3/8 inches, captured the excitement of the burgeoning sport of baseball in the late 19th century and are now prized by collectors of historical ephemera and sports memorabilia.
