A Momentous Occasion: Former Police Chief Devery Opens American League Park (1910)
In this historic photograph print taken by renowned photographer George Graham Bain's news service, former New York City Police Chief William Stephen Devery proudly opens the doors to American League Park on a sunny day in 1910. The iconic ballpark, later renamed Hilltop Park and home to the New York Highlanders and Yankees teams, marks its debut with great fanfare.
As Devery cuts the ceremonial ribbon, a sea of eager faces gazes up at him from beneath the fluttering Stars and Stripes flag. The atmosphere is electric as fans gather around the perimeter of the stadium, their anticipation palpable. Bain's black-and-white photography captures this pivotal moment in American sports history with precision and poise.
This photograph not only commemorates a significant milestone for Major League Baseball but also serves as a testament to Devery's enduring legacy within New York City's sporting heritage. As we gaze upon the scene, we are transported back to an era of optimism, excitement, and community spirit – all set against the backdrop of America's beloved national pastime.
