Rabbit Maranville, the Boston Braves shortstop, is the figure this record names, and the Braves tie the picture to the team's Boston years. Walter "Rabbit" Maranville was known for his fielding and his antics on the diamond, and he became one of the most recognizable players of his era. The record gives no date, so the exact game or occasion is unknown. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that sold images to newspapers from the early 1900s into the 1920s, and its glass negatives are a record of how sports were pictured for the daily press.
