Title and date from information provided by Leslie Jones or the Boston Public Library on the negative or negative sleeve.
Summary provided by the Society for American Baseball Research, 2010-2011.
Research by the Society for American Baseball Research in 2010-2011 indicates it is not likely that the figures in this image are Eddie Collins and Walt Dropo, as the title might imply. They suggest the figures could be sportswriters at a hot stove gathering (which were frequent in January and February) but not at the annual Boston Baseball Writers Association dinner (usually held the last week of January) as everyone wore tuxedoes at that event.
