MHS Baseball Team with Uniforms, Gloves, Mitts, and Bats 1907 Real Photo Postcard

Baseball emerged as America's dominant national pastime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with amateur and semi-professional teams flourishing in nearly every town and institution. These teams, like the one pictured, were a common sight, often featuring uniforms that, while standardized, still bore unique local insignias. The style of the flannel jerseys, knickers, and caps, along with the relatively rudimentary glove visible, places this image firmly in the era spanning from roughly 1900 to 1920.
