What year was the Star Spangled Banner first played at a Major League Baseball game?
Started in 1941; by 1942 it was played in all Ballparks.
Actually it was first played in 1918 during world war 1
In 1918, during the heart of America 's involvement in World War One, the Americans were assigned the right flank of a large Allied army commanded by the French. The bugle sounded and the Americans along with their French and English allies rose and marched forward towards the German trenches. The Germans opened fire with their machine guns and the Americans were cut to pieces.
American General "Blackjack" Pershing refused to allow his army to be controlled by the French and planned his own attack for the next morning. During the night, groups of Americans soldiers, familiar with the way Native Americans fought, snuck slowly out of their entrenchments and crawled towards the German lines. When they got within 100 yards of the Germans, they would lay quietly while others followed their lead. By morning several hundred Americans were in position in front of the German lines, some getting as close as 20 paces.
In the morning when the bugle sounded the charge, the Germans thought they had time but the Americans were on them in a hurry. Soon, the Germans broke, and then ran for their lives. The Americans were victorious.
In the United States during a baseball game played at Ebbets Field, a message was put on the scoreboard announcing the victory. Some fans then stood and began to sing the National Anthem. Slowly, more and more people stood to join in until by the end of the song, everyone in the stadium had stood up and were singing.
From that day till the present, the National Anthem has been sung at every baseball game played in America .
Construction varies. Generally the core of the ball is cork, rubber, or a mixture of the two, and is sometimes layered. Around that are various linear materials including yarn and twine, sometimes wool is used. A leather cover is put on, in two pieces, and stitched together using 108 stitches of waxed red cotton thread. Rolled stitching is flatter and creates less air-resistance. This is the type of stitching used for major league balls and is ideal for the game and everyday play. Official Major League balls sold by Rawlings are made to the exact MLB specifications (5 ounces, 108 stitches) and are stamped with the signature of Commissioner Allan "Bud" Selig on each ball.
Baseballs are made from a cork/rubber ball, various sized yarn, and leather. Starting with the ball, the thickest yarn is wound around it, and at various points a smaller yarn is wound around each layer. Last the layer of yarn is covered by the leather tied together by red yarn.
What you have is referred to as a news service photo, press photo or a wire photo, released or used by a local newspaper. A wire photo is a term for sending pictures by either telegraph or telephone. Wire photo's are commonly used by news agencies such as the associated press. These wire photos are distributed across the country for use by other news media.
Press photos are commonly stamped on the back with the newspapers name, photographer, and sometimes the caption that is to be used with the photo. If the photo was used and filed it might also include a copy of the news item it was published on or and might have editing marks for cropping on the front.
Press photos are very collectible and sought after by collectors. Photo quality, subject, composition, and appeal will all effect the value. Ted Williams is as good a subject as you can get. and press photos with Ted Williams as the subject could sell anywhere from $30.-$200. or more. Many other subject related factors will effect the value such as if the photo was taken during the game, an "action shot", posed for the picture, other players in the photo, and the ballpark it was taken in could also effect the value.
Here are some results from recent actions:
TED WILLIAMS Returns to Fenway At-BAT - $103.50
1972 News Service Photo issued by United Press
("Jimmy Fund Night" Williams hit a HR)
1957 News Photo (United Press) TED WILLIAMS Red Sox with bat - $90.00
1955 News Service Photo / United Press depicting a Rare image of Ted Williams watching a game from the "Green Monster" - $26.02
Because it is a Ted Williams press photo the Boston Globe Newspaper would be most desirable. I am not familiar with the name Paul J Maguire but as a photographer or reporter for the Boston Globe could add value as well.
Paul J "PJ" Maguire was the chief of sports photography for the Boston Globe back in the day. He's my Grandfather and he was a great man.
