Red Sox fans crowd onto an open vehicle here, waving flags as they celebrate the team, a scene that shows how deeply Boston's baseball loyalty ran in the early twentieth century. Crowds like this one often gathered for parades, pennant celebrations, and the arrival of players at the ballpark, when fans rode through the streets in open cars and trucks. Pictures of such rooters are valuable to historians because they capture ordinary supporters, rather than players, at the center of the action. Look closely at the flags and clothing for clues about the occasion and the era.
