Rube Walberg 1923

No, that's not a dunce cap he's wearing. Instead he is sporting a Masonic hat along with his Red Sox uniform.

The occasion was the Masonic All-Star Game between teams of American Leaguers and National Leaguers in Trenton, NJ on October 12, 1935. The game was billed as the greatest collection of baseball stars the city had ever seen. HOFers in uniform that day included Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove, Waite Hoyt, and Herb Pennock. Price of a ticket to see the game: $1.10. For $3, one could attend the game, dine at a post-game banquet, and attend an evening show.
