About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

It's amazing to see all the men dressed in coat and tie to go to a ball game. Even the boy with the mitt has a tie.
Boy With Mitt
Submitted by Mr Mel on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 8:25am.
Interesting picture, obviously Hilltop Park preceded Yankee Stadium. The Highlanders preceded the Yankees.The boy with the baseball fielders glove preceded the millions of kids that have gone to professional baseball games bringing their mitts in hopes of snagging a ball hit into the stands. I wonder if they were allowed to keep the ball in those days?
