-
An engaging portrait of the Oak Park Baseball Club of Sacramento, California, taken in 1939 by local Japanese photographer Ushizo Oyama. Oyama opened his studio in Sacramento during the 1920s and operated his business there until the outbreak of World War II. He was imprisoned at the internment camp in Amache, Colorado, where he was eventually allowed to continue his practice and to document sporadically the life and residents of the camp. The present photograph from just before the war shows eleven Japanese-American teenagers and children in various baseball attire, flanked by two older Japanese coaches. Oak Park, the namesake of the club, was one of several neighborhoods south of downtown Sacramento that made up the city's now defunct Japantown; the names of those pictured are etched into the negative along the lower edge of image.
