The focus here is the crowd rather than the players, which sets this picture apart from the many action shots of the diamond on this board. The title points to the Pittsburgh and Detroit matchup, which was the 1909 World Series, a contest that drew intense interest in both cities and featured stars such as Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb. Pictures of fans from this period are valuable because they show how large crowds gathered at early ballparks, dressed for the occasion, and followed the games closely, often in hats and coats against autumn weather.
