Ohio Guide Collection
Description: This is a photo of a sandlot baseball game somewhere in Ohio. "Sandlot" is a term used to describe a makeshift field in order to play baseball. This photo is taken from behind first base. The catcher and home-plate umpire can be seen watching a member from the other team running to first base. The player standing on first base may have the ball in his glove, as the pitcher in the field is looking at him, indicating that the runner is out. Several people can be seen watching the game, and a few large, unknown buildings can be seen in the background. View on Ohio Memory.
