1906-2006 City Series CENTENNIAL	10 Differences between 1906 and 2006	1906 Chicago's greatest baseball year!
Difference #3	In 1906, they played with Fans on the field! Circus seats were placed in the outfield! Fans in those seats preferred to stand! Cops were in front to hold them back! Balls hit into the crowd were doubles! What a lousy way to watch a game! You can't see the action on the field! All you get is a great view of the sky! Note-- we still don't know what a circus seat is!	MORE DIFFERENCES 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
DID YOU KNOW . . .	1st inning, game 6: George Davis hits deep fly to right! Wildfire Schulte races toward the crowd in pursuit of ball! He's about to nab it, but doesn't! It lands in the crowd for a double! Schulte's claim: a policeman prevented him from making the catch by jostling him! Cubs charge fan interference, but umps rule otherwise, and the play stands as is!
