One of my favorite sites, Shorpy (”The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog”), posted a photograph today entitled “Crowd at Ebbets Field. Oct. 5, 1920″. If I read the “Boston Garter” clock correctly, it’s a little past 10 AM.
In the first game of the 1920 World Series between the Indians and Dodgers, the final score was Cleveland 3, Brooklyn 1.
Here’s the Retrosheet page on that game. Unfortunately, the Indians took the Series 5 games to 2.
Be sure to check out the full size photo.
