[New York vs. Brooklyn 10/19/1889] Horns were plentiful on the grounds and were used frequently; in fact every good play brought out a blast which was heard a block away. A misplay of any of the opposing teams also caused a loud blast of derision. The New Yorkers had small tin horns, but the Brooklynites went further and procured fog horns which were heard every time a Bridegroom made a good hit or a fine play.
