Default Boston Ballparks

About 9 years ago I purchased a group of snapshots from a Boston area estate that were taken from 1910 to 1915 era at various Boston ball parks . Here are two of my favorites from that group:

1) Image of Huntington Avenue Grounds circa 1911. Check out the "Nuff Ced" advertisement on the lower left field stands.

2) 1912 view of right field at Fenway park with fans on the Bull Durham sign. I have several pictures of this same game and based on the information on the scoreboard in a series of these pictures I think they are from the 1912 game where Smokey Joe Wood went up against Walter Johnson when they had there consectutive win streaks.
