Taken by a fan from the stands at Cy Young Day on August 13, 1908 at Huntington Grounds in Boston as the Red Sox played a team of American League All-Stars who were recruited for the occasion. Young is seen at the bat about to receive the pitch from Hall of Famer Jack Chesbro who is on the mound. Note the mixture of uniforms worn by the All-Star players in the field who wore their regular team’s uniform for this game.
