"Gil Hatfield, 3rd Base, New York," is a baseball card from the *Old Judge* series, featuring a black and white portrait of the baseball player Gil Hatfield holding a bat. This card was part of a series of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1888 to promote Old Judge Cigarettes. The card's simple design and realistic depiction of the player makes it an excellent example of early baseball card artwork and collectible Americana. The card is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection.
