The game has changed...
I like the article on the bottom right that talks about "today's game." It says the hole in the right field wall was caused by runaway horses attached to a furniture wagon. Also in the game pictured, a fan threw a second ball into play to confuse the fielder, "but Collins grabbed the right one." Classic stuff - makes our era of middle relief specialists, designated hitters, and sausage races seem a bit embarrasing.
OK, I admit I like the sausage race in Milwaukee...
Cheers,
Geno
