This photo is by George Grantham Bain’s News Service and the negative is in the Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. The shot depicts the pregame warmup before the Highlanders and Athletics began play. Note the bunting and flags. Also note the baseballs in flight. The most obvious is the brown orb over Hal Chase’s head as shown in the crop.
This image is one three Bain images of the game in the Collection.
