Timothy John "Tim" Keefe, Pitcher, New York, from the Old Judge series (N172) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1887

This black and white photograph of Tim Keefe, a pitcher for the New York baseball team, is part of the Old Judge series of trading cards produced by Goodwin & Company in 1887. The cards were distributed as premiums inside packs of Old Judge cigarettes, making them valuable collectors' items today. The photo shows Keefe in action, throwing a baseball, his uniform and cap clearly visible. The image is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City. This card, along with others in the series, captures the excitement and popularity of baseball in the late 19th century.
