From wikipedia:
In the 1912 World Series, the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Giants four games to three (with one tie)
I attended many games at the Polo Grounds in the 1940′s. Especially when Stan Musial and the St. Louis Cardinals were in town.
A grandstand seat cost $1.25 and the bleachers were .50 cents!
Smokey Joe Wood pitched for Boston in Game 1, and defeated the Giants and Jeff Tesreau 4-3. A quote attributed to Wood after Game 1: "I threw so hard I thought my arm would fly right off my body."

As I scan this photo I am reminded of the times back then, and I wonder if they had a PA system to announce to the crowd. Did they have electronic PA back then?
