Playing during an era when the game was still evolving, Haigh's solitary game reflects the challenges and opportunities faced by players in the 1890s. This was a time when Major League Baseball was beginning to establish itself as a prominent form of entertainment in America, transitioning from the amateur roots of the 19th century to a more organized professional structure.
