Magee wasn't the manager. He was only 25/26 years old during the 1915 season.

That would not have made him the youngest manager in baseball history. I believe Bucky Harris was 24 when he led the Washington Senators to a world championship in 1924. I stand corrected. Harris was 27.

Magee was born in 1889, which would have made a young-looking 35/36 at the time and, yes, he was the manager for part of that season..

11 plus 15 = 26.

Looks like was a player/manager for most of the season (118 games), with 35 games managed by John Ganzel. www.baseball-reference.com/managers/mageele01.shtml www.baseball-reference.com/managers/ganzejo01.shtml I've edited his Wikipedia entry to make this clearer.

I find no Harry Cooper listed as a St. Louis Terriers player, but there is a Henry Keupper who pitched for them in 1914, and baseball-reference.com uses this picture with his entry: www.baseball-reference.com/players/k/keupphe01.shtml LOC, any info on how theSABR committee did its identification?

artolog: It is indeed Henry Keupper. We checked with our colleagues at SABR and they acknowledge their error. We'll add this to our correction and update queue.

It's difficult to avoid thinking of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 when viewing this photograph. Hopefully, the "Rogers/Rogers fire" of 1915 was nowhere near as deadly.

This was a series of explosions and fire at a five story building at 206 E. 19th Street, near 3rd Avenue. J.E. Rodgers Company had the first two floors, and the remaining floors stored highly explosive materials. Two people were badly injured.
