A New York batter, N.G. Greenaway, is at the plate in this 1908 match between stock brokers from New York and Boston, the pairing that gives the picture its title. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a news-photo archive built by the Bain News Service, and the record dates the game to May 22, 1908. In the early 1900s, Wall Street firms often fielded teams for games that doubled as social outings and friendly contests between rival business districts. The picture offers a glimpse of how these informal matches were staged.
