Hey all

I'm not sure how many of you frequent or know about Flickr, but, today I noticed the Library of Congress's account has a set called "News in the 1910s"

Through this set of 10,000+ photos, there are many, many good baseball pictures. (I think they've been online for years as the comments are very old. I'm just finding them now.)

The set caught my eye today due to a few new uploads in the past few days. Such as this one:

And this one:

The whole set can be found at the bottom link. Maybe you'll find some good ones.

Note, too, these photos are posted on Flickr and have links back to their originals on the LoC webpage, some complete with extremely high resolution 16MB TIFF original scans.
