Default Neat picture on Wiki - 1909 Pirates

Wiki has a daily "Featured Picture" section at the bottom of their website and todays featured picture is a poster of the 1909 Pirates team ...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...boat_FINAL.jpg

It has the following caption below it:
"A poster celebrating the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball winning the National League title in the 1909 season. Led by Honus Wagner (top right) and Fred Clarke (middle, third from left), the Pirates scored the most runs among all teams. Also shown are Frank Chance of the Chicago Cubs (bottom) and John McGraw of the New York Giants (center), two of the Pirates' rivals, being made to walk the plank"

p.s. I can't embed the picture into the post from work, so if someone wants to do that, it'd be appreciated
