Things we learned about 1905 from this photo: Baseball socks were apparently the inspiration for the wicked witch wardrobe in the Wizard of Oz, baseball used to be two words, preppy bros didn’t actually invent the popped collar (these guys did!) and baseball apparently used to be played in triangles. Things we didn’t learn about 1905 from this photo: Whether there was a rival Hexagonal Interscholastic Base Ball League. Thanks to reader Earl Burroughs for this shot of the championship Concord High School baseball team from 1905.
