Joe Wood is the focus of this shot, with a Sold Seal whiskey sign in the background, a reminder of how early ballparks leaned on advertising to help cover their costs. Wood was one of the American League's best right-handers in the early 1910s, and his 1912 season, when he won 34 games and lost 5, helped carry the Red Sox to a World Series title that year. Advertising like this was a common sight at Boston's ballparks of the day, where fans saw the same brand names game after game. Pictures like this one capture both the pitcher and the commercial world that surrounded the sport.
