EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Grand Tradition: The Temple Cup Playoff Game Between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Giants, 1894 2.. This print, dating back to approximately 1896, transports us to the Polo Grounds in New York City, where the excitement of baseball was at its zenith. The image showcases the Temple Cup playoff game between the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Giants, two powerhouse teams of the era. The grandstand is filled with an enthusiastic crowd, their faces etched with anticipation and passion as they watch the game unfold. The Temple Cup, a precursor to the World Series, was a highly-anticipated annual event that brought together the best teams from the American Association and the National League. In this particular game, the Orioles, led by stars such as John McGraw, Hugh Duffy, and Wilbert Robinson, faced off against the Giants, who boasted the talents of Amos Rusie, Buck Ewing, and Cap Anson. The top of the print features photographic portraits of some of the most influential figures in baseball at the time. These men, including Ban Johnson, the president of the American League, and Henry Chadwick, the "Father of Baseball," underscore the historical significance of the event. As we delve deeper into the image, we can see the intricacies of the game, with players in their period uniforms, the umpire signaling a call, and the infielders poised for action. The print serves as a testament to the rich history of baseball and the enduring allure of the game, which continues to captivate audiences more than a century later.
