DescriptionA men's baseball team called the Phats is gathered outside a barn-like building in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In a top hat on the far left is H. Scott Knight. The adult on the far right with a baseball mitt on his hand is Billy Mason, and second from the right is George K. Neher. The group mostly wears light or white colored outfits of caps with tiny bills turned up and overalls with "Phats" painted onto the chest. The adults mostly have mustaches. There are also two children in the group about ten-years old in knickerbockers and hats. The figure in the center has "Phats" written upside-down. Silver mirroring and emulsion deterioration is occurring on the glass plate creating color distortion in the image.
