[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Clarence H. "Ginger" Beaumont was the first batter in the first modern era Major League Baseball Word Series (1903). He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and was their lead-off hitter in the 9-gamer series against the Boston Americans (Red Sox). The Americans eventually went on to win the series.

Ginger Beaumont is buried in the community cemetery in Rochester, Wisconsin, a farming community southwest of Milwaukee.
