EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph, we see Herbert Hoover, the 31st President of the United States, participating in a cherished American tradition. It is April 17th, 1929, and Griffith Stadium in Washington D. C. is buzzing with excitement as the major league baseball season opens. Standing confidently on the pitcher's mound, Hoover Wilson prepares to throw out the ceremonial first ball. Surrounded by a sea of eager spectators filling every seat in the stadium, their faces filled with anticipation and joy. The atmosphere is electric as they await this historic moment captured forever in sepia tones. As President Hoover winds up his arm to make that crucial toss across home plate, he stands alongside his elegant First Lady Lou Clark Hoover. Together they embody grace and dignity amidst an era marked by economic challenges and political change. This image not only captures a significant event but also serves as a reminder of America's love affair with its national pastime - baseball. It symbolizes unity among men and women from all walks of life who gather together under one roof to celebrate their shared passion for this beloved sport. Preserved within The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print allows us to step back into time and witness history unfold before our eyes once again.
