    I bet these folks were happy when the radio was invented.

    Outside the headquarters building of the New York Herald. Another paper published there was the Evening Telegram. Games of the 1911 World Series, between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Athletics, were played in October, 1911. The Athletics defeated the Giants.

    Wystan: Thanks for the additional info. We'll include it in the description next time we update the record.

    I agree with the statement that it's a 1911 World Series uniform. The original negative dated this as 1912, but our recommendation changed the caption date to 1911. BH (SABR)

    Cornelius McGillicuddy (December 22, 1862 – February 8, 1956), better known as Connie Mack, was an American professional baseball player, manager, and team owner. The longest-serving manager in Major League Baseball history, he holds records for wins (3,731), losses (3,948), and games managed (7,755), with his victory total being almost 1,000 more than any other manager. He managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the club's first 50 seasons of play before retiring at age 87 following the 1950 season. He was the first manager to win the World Series three times, and is the only manager to win consecutive Series on separate occasions (1910-11, 1929-30); his five Series titles remain the third most by any manager, and his nine American League pennants rank second in league history. However, constant financial struggles forced repeated rebuilding of the roster, and Mack's teams also finished in last place 17 times.
