Giant Baseball Crowd in a Little Town

This giant baseball crowd in a little town, may be the finest small town ballgame in progress postcard I know. I measure all others by it. The crowd is enormous and encircles the playing field five to ten people deep. The spectators had to be parted for the players to access the dugouts. Car and carriage stand side by side. The lens snapped just as the pitcher is in his windup. It's a game going on in Iowa around 1910.Please share your comments below or share this blog with your friends on Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter.Looking for the perfect picture for your next project?
