A black and white photograph of Martin Dihigo. The photograph depicts Dihigo standing outside wearing a baseball uniform with a cap, a short-sleeve shirt, pants, tall socks, and cleats. He is turned in ¾ profile towards the proper right side of the image. His arms are hanging loosely down by his sides, and he is stepping forward with his left leg. There are several people in the background, including other baseball players and an umpire. There is some sort of structure in the background on the proper right side. The print has a thin white border around the image and deckled edges. There are several creases and marks overall. On the verso is a faded stamp in the top left corner. Most of the stamp is illegible but the word “VERACRUZ” can be seen. Handwritten text down the right side, in black ink reads [Con el “Aguila” / 1938].
