What in the World is Going on Here in CHICAGO?? Help?

Just my thoughts...this was a very rough period in baseball...lots of fighting and problems...lots of drinkers and high livers...actually what led to the founding of the American League...perhaps this was a clever play on the idea that by 1999 baseball would be played by thugs with guns...much like the NBA of modern day.

Thanks Guys,

bbcard1, you may be on to something... Perhaps it is a parody on the future of baseball.

Looks like a couple of dandies making ready to engage in a duel to be facilitated or prevented by the Keystone Cop, the devolution of baseball as anticipated by the guy's sign. I also think bbcard1 is on the right trail.
