The opening of Fenway Park was slightly overshadowed by the sinking of the Titanic just five days earlier. Although a capacity crowd was on hand, baseball seemed less important at the time. 1912 the Red Sox won the World Series behind a young Smokey Joe Wood who would have one of the best seasons any pitcher would have in the major leagues. Photo is in excellent condition, only small wrinkles to the right side. Photographer credit is in the upper right corner. Typical of some panoramics of that time, some players use the window of opportunity to pose with both teams, as can be seen with Smokey Joe Wood and another unnamed Red Sox player.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: Framed: 49" x 11".
