Huntington Grounds, 1911 snapshots

A grouping of five snapshots of Huntington Grounds in Boston when the Red Sox faced the visiting Philadelphia Athletics. Likely taken by a fan during the series in late June 1911 when Philadelphia visiting. This is based on the scoreboard visible in one of the images, the signage, the team uniforms and the fact that Alva Williams only appeared with the Red Sox in 1911.

A fascinating glimpse of the stadium in its final season as the homefield of the Red Sox. In the horizontal shot Tris Speaker is seen at bat in his characteristic stance.
