Crowds in straw boaters fill the grandstand here, and the strings of flag bunting along the rail mark it as a day when the ballpark was dressed up for a special occasion. Straw boaters were the everyday summer hat for men in the early twentieth century, so the sea of them suggests a warm afternoon game in the era before the sport's crowds were dominated by open-collared fashions. Baseball grandstands of this period were often decorated for opening days, holidays and pennant contests, and photographs like this one preserve the ordinary fans who filled the seats as much as the players on the field.
