Panoramic photo of first game at Griffith Stadium in Washington, 1911

Truly amazing photo. Incredibly, the old ballpark had burned to the ground just 18 days earlier, while the Nationals were south at spring training. You can see the wooden forms holding the still-drying concrete in place. There is a set of postcards of different phases of construction of the new "American League Park" as it was called originally, my buddy Ron Menchine had several of them and the numbering went up to 18 if memory serves correctly. Ron died in 2010, and I can't remember if any or all of his examples of those made it to auction, I'm not sure they did. I've seen one or two over the years apart from Ron's grouping, so they're obviously super rare.
