Chicago's White Sox played at South Side Park during much of this window, and the title points to a particular occasion, a "Chicago Day" at the ballpark, when the home team's supporters turned out in numbers. The record gives no photographer or exact date, so the scene itself has to carry the story. Crowds of this kind were a defining feature of early twentieth-century baseball, when the sport drew working-class fans by the thousands and streetcars carried them to the grounds. Look closely at the faces and clothing in the crowd, which show how fans dressed for a afternoon game in that era.
