- Cornell baseball player, 1908. Illustration by Edward Penfield (1866-1925). From Wikipedia Commons.
It’s that time of year again. Baseball is the only spectator sport I watch (or listen to on the radio) with any regularity. I even have a fantasy baseball team – the Plymouth (Mass) Rocs. [Okay bad pun....] I’m a big Cleveland Indians fan. Alas, neither my fantasy team nor my favorite team are perfoming up to my hopes, but that’s ‘par for the course’ as they say.< /div>
Today’s image is an 1908 illustration by Edward Penfield (1866-1925) showing a Cornell baseball player at bat. He’s got no batting helmet – not yet required – and his uniform is the ‘knickers and socks’ style.
Play ball!
