The caption places Chas. Hyde at the opening of the American B.B. season on April 22, 1911, which points to a baseball opening day, though the abbreviation is never spelled out. The title comes from caption data that the Bain News Service wrote on the negatives or cards and that has not been independently verified, so Hyde's identity and the exact occasion should be checked before you rely on them. George Grantham Bain's agency, based in New York, supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century, and opening days drew large crowds and press attention, which explains why pictures like this were made and kept.
