Joe, it looks like the players bench is on the field as there were no dugouts. When did dugouts come into use? Could you catch a foul ball in the area behind the line defining where the players could sit?

Wow. Really cool stuff. That poster from 1887 is priceless. I have subscription to the Free Press archives and here's a blurb from the July 4th, 1887 game. The photos don't show an overflow crowd in the outfield. No mention of an overflow crowd in the July 4th, 1886 story, however. Note the very odd rule of a ball hit into the crowd.

The white socks for Detroit means 1887 , right ? Someone needs to identify the opposing team.

I have two Detroit game-in-progress images in my collection. The first one is an imperial cabinet from 1886, a home game against Chicago, in which Detroit was dressed in an special all white suit. This game featured a crowd of over 10,000 fans and they roped off the outfield. I also have a large 1888 negative of a Detroit game in Philadelphia. I really enjoy the game-in-progress images. The following is a digital sepia image created from the negative. The Detroit Historical Society images could be 1886 or 1887 (or other), I hope to narrow it down with a little more research.
