On the occasions when Hobbs hits significant home runs, there are photographers within a few feet of home plate snapping flash photos. This was actually the custom at the time, and photographers were known to routinely be within 10-15 feet of plays as they happened. As technology improved, this was no longer necessary, but the practice was not formally banned by the National League until 1954, in part, after a photographer dictated a manager/umpire argument to a reporter and the accurate remarks were published by national news.And, yes, these photographers were sometimes hit by foul balls, errant throws, or collided with fielders or runners trying to make a play.
