    On the details for this postcard on the NYPL site they don't give a date for the drawing. Does anyone know when the art was produced?

    From wikipedia: In the 1912 World Series, the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Giants four games to three (with one tie)

    I attended many games at the Polo Grounds in the 1940's. Especially when Stan Musial and the St. Louis Cardinals were in town. A grandstand seat cost $1.25 and the bleachers were .50 cents!
  • btwashburn said:
    Smokey Joe Wood pitched for Boston in Game 1, and defeated the Giants and Jeff Tesreau 4-3. A quote attributed to Wood after Game 1: "I threw so hard I thought my arm would fly right off my body." From the Baseball Almanac, www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1912ws.shtml

    As I scan this photo I am reminded of the times back then, and I wonder if they had a PA system to announce to the crowd. Did they have electronic PA back then?
