Paul Caridad:

Hop aboard our time machine and join us as we take you out to a ballgame in the 1800′s. A time when outs were called “hands”, batters were called “strikers”, runs were called “aces” or “counts”, gloves had no padding (19th Century Baseball), and Cracker Jacks were just a gleam in their creators’, Fritz & Louie Rueckheim, eyes. As you scroll through this unusual collection, take note of the telekinetic skills of ball levitation, the fashionable uniforms (especially the one with a bow tie) and the art of dead pan facial expressions.

Great historical photos of a time when ball players looked like normal dudes.
