Boston rooters traveling to Philadelphia are the subject here, a detail that sets this view apart from the many crowd scenes in the Bain collection. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds work from a New York news photo agency that sold pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, so images like this were made to be reproduced quickly alongside the day's news. Fans following their teams to away games in that era often went by train, and their banners and noisemaking made them easy to spot. The record gives no date, and the title comes from unverified agency notes, so the specific event and year remain uncertain.
