Opening day ceremonies in the early 1900s often included a brass band on the diamond, and this photograph shows Brooklyn's team and musicians gathered on the field for one such occasion. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the news photographs assembled by Bain, a New York photographer whose agency supplied pictures to newspapers. Images like this capture the pageantry of the period, when the season's first game drew large crowds and underscored baseball's place in city life. The record gives only a date range of about 1908 to 1925, so the specific game is not identified.
