1910 Silver gelatin photograph of the overflow crowd at Hilltop Park in New York, the home of the Highlanders (Yankees) and taken during what was surely a big game! A rare image from brown brothers (stamp obscured years later) and capturing one of the rarest and most desirable ballparks of the deadball era. Images of the ballpark itself are almost never seen and they usually exist only as backgrounds to game action. The image captures over a thousand fans, including some ladies, perched right on the outfield grass, makeshift benches, and packing the outfield grand stands as the game is in progress. A lady on of the benches s holding her scorecard open and the advertising can be seen as clear as day. The crowd is also integrated with tons of fans standing as if something great in the game just happened. This is the only example of this photograph known and is a unique look at the genesis of the Yankees franchise! Despite some obvious chipping on the top corners, the photo has nice presentation value and looks better than the technical grade.
