World Series Update: 1912
28 10 2008In honor of the World Series this week between the Phillies and Rays, we dug up this cool photo from 1912. This is a baseball game reproducer from the Washington Post showing the results of the 1912 World Series. Crowds would gather on the street in front of the Post’s building to watch the entire game. The closest thing this area has now is that big screen on the ABC building in Rosslyn, but it’s not really as cool.

Wow that is neat looking
I think back in the day people must have had a much longer attention span or better imaginations, I don’t think I could follow an entire game that way.
