Default 1909 Swayne Field, Toledo - Inaugural Opening
RPPC of the 1909 inaugural flag raising ceremony at Swayne Field in Toledo, Ohio. My best guess is that the player with his hands on his hips (in a unique way) is 22-year old future Hall of Fame manager Joe McCarthy of the Toledo Mud Hens. Note how he holds his hat in each photo.

This RPPC is postmarked 28 July 1909.
