Braves plan Boston park expansion and new uniforms
Boston planners led by President Ward inspect the Boston National League park and push an expansion of the diamond and seating. The left field fence will move back to create potential home runs, while right field remains difficult. New bleachers and left field seating will be removed. Uniforms will feature white with red stockings at home and pearl gray on the road with a red Indian silhouette. Ward seeks Arthur Devlin and Downey trades, and aims to stabilize the infield with third base options. Ward also schedules a joint rules committee meeting in New York, likely Feb 13, and Kling stays in Boston while Gaffney and Ward return to New York.
