Old Stadium Press Photos

I wanted to share some great ballpark photos, but would not be against a possible trade. My biggest interest is Ballpark Press Photos and Ticket Stubs (3k hit/strikeout; 300 win; 500 HR; perfect games.) Will post a few more photos.

Caption on first photo - Cincinnati Inaugurates Night Baseball in Majors - 5-25-35
Cincinnati, Ohio... Baseball became a nocturnal pastime in the major leagues last night (May 24), when Cincinnati and Philadelphia introduced it to 25,000 National League Fans. A host of notables of the game were on hand to witness the innovation, and president roosevelt in Washington threw a switch that turned on the flood lights which lighted the field for the game. Here is the general view of the park during the game. The game itself was a pitcher's duel between Derringer, for Cincinnati and Bowman, for Philadelphia, and was decided in favor of the former by a 2-1 score.

From A Portrait of Baseball Photography (para-phrased): NEA was Newspaper Enterprise Association which was founded by Scripps in 1902. It was one of the first news syndicates. Acme Newspictures was a division of NEA. Hope this helps.
