St. Louis in 1909 was one of the largest cities in the country, a river port and manufacturing center whose breweries, shoe factories, and tobacco works drew workers from across the Midwest. The World's Fair of 1904 had ended only five years earlier, and the city still took pride in the grand grounds and civic ambition it had shown the world. Baseball was a daily topic in its neighborhoods, streetcar lines carried fans to the ballpark, and newspapers followed every game closely. This panoramic photograph shows the St. Louis Cardinals, the National League club that had taken that nickname only a few years before, posed as a full squad in their uniforms. For residents, the team was a source of civic pride and an everyday link between the city's working families and the wider sport.
