Picked up these on EBay last week. Great addition for my Toronto baseball collection. 3 images of "Opening of Baseball Season - Toronto Island Stadium - 1915 and 2 pics from "Sports Day Island Stadium".
The stadium was originally built on the site in 1897 and twice destroyed by fire and rebuilt (1903 and 1909). This 17,000 seat version of the ballpark opened in 1910 and the International League's Leafs defeated the Baltimore Orioles to open the season on May 9, 1910. The stadium played host to Babe Ruth's first pro home run on Sept 5, 1914; mere months before the images were captured.
Can anyone point me to a site that would indicate the date of the 1915 season opening contest, the visiting team and perhaps the score?
Thanks!
