Thanks Dan, not sure how I missed that one. I frequently bid and win Hunt items. Several people brought it to my attention when it hit eBay, none of which noticed it a couple weeks earlier. I'm happy to have it in my collection regardless of price paid.

Wow Joe. How great is that? I don't think I knew that it was possible to get an action shot in 1888. I guess I thought (without really thinking about it) that photos at that time were still long sitting sessions in studio. What a great image and nice surprise.
And now for this question. Anyone think that maybe there were more home runs hit to that acreage in left field without the fence than there would have been with a typical-distance fence? It looks like hard liners and even ground shots that might normally bounce off a wall could go a long ways in a field with that design. That's as cool to think about as anything. If it weren't for the loss of seating and concessions in one part of the outfield, it would be interesting to have a modern club think about such a design. J

Joann -
The image below from Library of Congress is claimed to be a c1886 Chicago at Washington NL game played at the Swampoodle grounds in DC. A companion image (with the batting/pitching teams reversed) appears in Baseball in Washington DC by Frank Ceresi, Arcadia publishers, on page 14.

Happy to add this true bottle bat (not a softball bat that looks kind of bottle-ish) to the collection. It will suffice until I can afford a H.Groh game used version.

Although I haven't a clue who the "White's Eagles" were, this photo just called me. I don't know why.

Heh! I was about to post a reply that Greg would love that photo and then I realized it was you that posted it.
 edited to add: This was in reply to Greg's Naragansett photo.

Love the Pittsburg fishing pic!
Something for my Black Sox pile. Season tix to Spinner's games. And an old Xmas photo.   *Background on the Santa Clause's photo. Taken by famed sports photog. Wm C Greene, at Jim Kelly's 'Mirror Room' in Greenwich Village. The Babe and Tony "Two-Ton" Galento were the MC's. Shoulda known these elves were up to no good... Hmmm, Could it have been the annual Bombers Xmas party? Also, this is building still stands 181 Sullivan St. and is located a few buildings down from my son's old college apt at 149. It's a small, small world. An exerpt from Bill Treadwells book on growing up in pre-WW2 Greenwich Village, 'Give it to me Easy' 1944;
