Monte Cross of the Philadelphia Athletics at Columbia Park circa 1905 by Joseph Pearce. Cross is poised off of third base and facing the pitcher. Columbia Park is recognizable in the background. Pearce’s stamp is on back and we know he left that address sometime in 1905, thus dating this photo. Pearce was a noted Philadelphia photographer.
