[BASEBALL]. Twelve Washington Senators Color Snapshot Photographs with Young Fan. Circa late 1960s. Square-format color prints. Collection includes 12 original color snapshot photographs of Washington Senators baseball players interacting with a young fan at D.C. Stadium. The boy is wearing a Washington Senators No. 9 shirt, which likely represents Frank Howard. He poses on the field alongside several uniformed Senators players, including a probable image of Howard, as well as other players wearing Washington "W" caps and jerseys. Photographs capture bats, gloves, stadium seating, and informal interactions between fans and players on the field, creating a charming visual narrative from the final years of the Washington Senators.

Condition

Condition generally good, with typical warm color shift, light fading, soft focus, minor handling wear, and edge/corner wear.
