First Man on the Line: A Boy's Unwavering Devotion to Baseball In this poignant illustration from a 1913 baseball season magazine, a young boy named Puck sits in the pouring rain outside the entrance to the 25 cent seats of a baseball stadium. The sign above the entrance proudly displays the upcoming match between Pink Socks and Green Socks, with the Opening Day date of April 10th. Despite the inclement weather and the stadium being locked and boarded up, Puck remains undeterred. He clutches a Base Ball Guide in his coat pocket, no doubt poring over the stats and strategies of his favorite teams. A small, protective umbrella shields him from the rain, while a loyal and wet little dog sits faithfully at his side. A basket of food rests at his feet, a testament to his determination to spend the day at the ballpark, rain or shine. The scene captures the essence of a young boy's unwavering devotion to baseball, a passion that transcends the elements and the inconveniences of reality. The illustration serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of America's pastime, and the special bond between fans and the game they love. This charming and nostalgic image, originally published in a 1913 baseball season magazine, is a must-have for any baseball memorabilia collection or for anyone who appreciates the history and tradition of America's favorite pastime.
