. . . from the intense political activity that we'll experience in the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, baseball couldn't give that to us last night (although, sadly, politics is intruding into even that [1]). The Cardinals-Tigers World Series game was rained out, and more rain is on the way.

Still, First Inning Artworks [2] has posted the fourth of four paintings taking a look at baseball more than 100 years ago. Except for the uniforms, it doesn't look much different than it does today.

Enjoy.
