And my last contribution - thanks for helping tickle the puzzle parts of my brain during some down time last 24hrs.... Looking forward to learning exact story behind photo.
Mayor Andrew Peters - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_James_Peters Opening Day 1918, with interesting illustration included (and both a Win and single for Ruth) - https://fenwayparkdiaries.com/1918%2...04-15-1918.htm

game (and pre-game) summary
Kind of interesting that Hoblitzell was just named captain that year and less than two months after this picture was taken would be off to serve his country, never to return to the Big Leagues.

from the Boston Post
seems the Boston Globe was generous in taking attendance (another report had the crowd at 7200)

Yes. If a question cannot be answered by the members of this forum, it is likely an unanswerable question. I'm still a little confused as the article says Tommy Connolly gave the ball to the mayor after the first pitch of the game but that clearly is not Tommy Connolly shaking hands with the mayor. It clearly looks to be Frazee to me. The mayor is holding a baseball in the photo so still a little confusing but much more clarity than I originally had. At least I opined it was an opening day ceremony. I was just two years early.
