Nice to see a well dressed crowd at a ball game in 1912. Before the collapse of civilization, long before.

I’d go back in time to 1912 in a minute if I could bring along a supply of modern medicines.

Interesting that you say that; I've always told my friends and family that, except for medical care, I'd take myself back to those days in a Pittsburgh minute.

I like the BVD ad in that photo. Apparently “loose-fitting” underwear was a big selling point in 1912.

Hey, folks! Take another gander at that 1912 World Series photo.

Can anyone find one woman in that crowd? The only women I see are the two on the billboard in the rear.

Ladies Day it wasn't!

I just came across a photo of my dad and grandfather hunting pheasant. Probably late 1930’s. Hard to see what my dad was wearing, but grandpa had a suit vest and tie on and a Fedora hat!
