Boston Americans in their grotesque makeups
Thought some of you might find this interesting. August 13, 1908, was Cy Young appreciation day at the Huntington Grounds in Boston. The Red Sox played an exhibition game against a team of American League all-stars. Before the game, the Boston players, dressed in various costumes, performed what the Boston Globe described as "antics" to entertain the fans. This photo is from the August 14, 1908, issue of the Globe.
