1926 Sweeping photograph of the overflow crowd at Cincinnati for opening day. There are police officers holding back the crowd with ropes and the detail is fantastic. We think this photograph is the earliest known to show a fan that brought his glove to the ballpark to try and catch a souvenir! This practice is common today but in 1926 it was a novelty and the kid at the extreme lower left corner has his glove on and ready for action!
