What, you ask, did the well-dressed gentleman wear to the ballpark in 1870? The sartorially inclined team outfitter might have turned to the lovely “New York Fashions” lithograph above for inspiration. Tastes have changed—you won’t catch today’s big leaguers in baggy flannel—though not that much. The proto-hipster bearing the scarlet letter of the Brooklyn Atlantics (third from left) would fit in nicely in contemporary Williamsburg, what with his slouchy cap, mutton chops, and disaffected expression. The $13,000 this print pulled at auction this week, however, is probably out of range for the typical resident of that neighborhood. Something, anyway, to chew on.
