Thanks for the comments, guys. I just went and took photos of a few more of mine. I purchased a collection of roughly a few dozen Boston newspapers about 10-12 years ago, most dating from 1910 - 1925, saved by someone who enjoyed major events. Thankfully for me, most of Boston's baseball glory coincided with that decade.
1) Boston Globe, April 15, 1912 morning edition (the framed one above is the 7:30 evening edition, with more info) - reports are that the Titanic is sinking, but it's assumed boats are on the way and no known casualties yet. Love the story; this was THE first report of trouble!
2) Boston Globe, April 21, 1912 - more Titanic follow-up stories, but off to the left-hand side is a story about the Red Sox opening some new ballpark, Fenway or something like that.
3) Boston Post, Sept. 23, 1920 - World Series was Fixed! Black Sox story revealed
4) Boston Post, Sept. 15, 1912 - Tris Speaker picture, article (ghost?) written by Christy Mathewson about Speaker being the most feared hitter
