This is a team portrait of Boston's American League club, the team better known as the Red Sox, dated to about 1915. That was the season the club won the World Series, beating the Philadelphia Phillies four games to one. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of a New York news photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of sports, politics and daily life in the early twentieth century. Team photos like this one were routine for newspapers, so they offer a useful record of how ballclubs presented themselves before the modern era of sports photography.
