First World Series

Scene from the first World Series ever played. Originally planned as a best-of-nine-games tournament, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates five games to three in 1903. I'm not sure when in the series this picture was taken; perhaps at the conclusion. There are no players on the field, just fans and some gentlemen in suits at home plate. Boston won the final game of the series 3-0 at their home field, the Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds.
