Help Identifying Photo
My belief is that this is a circa 1916 Boston Red Sox original photo picturing Dick Hoblitzell and team mates standing beside/behind a wreath that has a ribbon with "Success" on it.
I assume this is opening day in Boston in 1916 and the wreath was to honor the 1915 World Series Champion Red Sox. The photo is affixed to a cardboard backing so no way to see the back and I am not going to try and remove it. I am pretty certain it is a Type l as the photographer, Richard W. Sears Boston is imprinted on the left and right sides of the photo in raised letters. I know that Sears was a famous photographer in this time period but his specialty was more historical than sports related. He passed away in 1955. Any help identifying the celebration event other than my supposition would be appreciated.
