    Vintage 1913 Baseball Action at Polo Grounds, NY

    $19.95

    This historical photograph captures Cy Falkenberg, a professional baseball player from Cleveland, Alabama, at the iconic Polo Grounds in New York City in 1913. Falkenberg, a right-handed pitcher, played in Major League Baseball primarily during the early 1900s and was known for his distinctive pitching style. The Polo Grounds, where this image was taken, was the home field for several New York teams over the years, including the New York Giants and the New York Mets. Notably, the stadium’s unique design and proximity to the Harlem River made it one of the most recognizable sports venues of its time.

    The photograph was produced by the Bain News Service, a prominent news organization in the early 20th century known for its impactful images of notable figures and events in American history. This particular image serves not just as a portrait of a player but also as a snapshot of the evolving sport of baseball during a time when it was rapidly growing in popularity. The 1913 baseball season was significant for Falkenbergs career, as he took to the mound and competed in key games, contributing to the legacy of America’s pastime.

    Accurate titles and dates regarding the period and location of the photo were verified by the Pictorial History Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research in 2006. This attention to detail helps ensure the historical integrity of the photograph and enhances our understanding of baseballs history during this era. As we look back at images like this, we can see the figures who helped shape the game as we know it today.
