Boston's American League club, later known as the Red Sox, was in the middle of a championship season when this team portrait was taken. Managed by catcher Bill Carrigan, the 1915 club went on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies in five games in that year's World Series. The photograph comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of news pictures from the agency Bain ran in New York in the early twentieth century. Its posed, formal lineup shows how baseball teams were presented to newspaper readers during the sport's rise in popularity.
