| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 93: Auburn's Pete Bonner swung with gusto on the baseball diamond in what is now Ross Square. Bleachers lined the bank below Samford Hall and the Thach Avenue third base line. The smokestack of the powerhouse, source of electricity for the college and town, rose above the trees. An inviting gully in right field awaited left-handed hitters.
