A black and white photo of a predominantly Mexican group of male baseball players, the Eastern Merchants pose for a photograph. All boys are smiling and posing in their baseball uniforms along with their baseball equipment. They are posing in two rows, the front row kneeling and the back row standing up. In front of them have baseball bats, baseball gloves, and a baseball. The photo seems to be a picture of a printed picture as it is tilted at an angle to the right. They seem to be on a baseball field. In 1949 the Eastside Merchants won their local baseball league.
