    I don't know why someone tagged this Ebbetts Field. From the date on the photo, this would be from the homestand being played by the Giants at the Polo Grounds against Brooklyn. Mathewson started the May 4th, 1914 game. www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1914/VNY101914.htm

    Art Siegel This is Ebbets Field, the dates on the photographic glass negatives do not necessarily correspond to the date the photos were actually taken. Compare the fence along the 3rd base side field level seats, the dugout (and the unique cutout at its bottom), and the open area behind the first deck of seats, to other photos of Ebbets Field in the Bain photostream, among others, and you will see that this is the recently opened Ebbets Field.

    Aha, I see that. Must have been from an earlier Giants-Dodgers game in Brooklyn.

    That is New York Giants pitcher and Baseball Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson on the left shaking hands with actor (in uniform) William Courtenay. Courtenay was apparently featured in a Broadway play co-written by Mathewson and playwright Rida Johnson Young, entitled "The Girl and the Pennant." The October 13, 1913 New York Times item at the link below states the play featured a cast of seventy people and was to soon open at the Lyric Theatre. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9806E3DB133FE633A...
