[New York City Mayor James J. Hylan throwing first ball (baseball)] (LOC)

    John Francis Hylan www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6233903
  • TVL1970 said:
    The curved detail on the top edge of the wall places Mayor Hylan at the Polo Grounds, as he poses prior to throwing out a ceremonial first pitch. (See comment by Jon (LOC P&P) below). The date inscribed (in reverse) on the bottom of image reads "10/6/24," which would make the occasion Game 3 of the 1924 World Series, between the New York Giants and Washington Senators. The first game of the series to be played at the Polo Grounds. The Giants would defeat the Senators that day, by a score of 6-4, but the Senators would ultimately win the World Series (their first World Series Championship) in seven games. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_World_Series
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks TVL1970. The New York Times article published on October, 7th, 1924 says Hylan posed for the photographers with a ball, but didn't actually throw it.

After the 1919 season he continued to make periodic appearances as a pinch hitter for many years, until his final game at the age of 57. As a player, Altrock was a member of two World Series winning teams and then, won a third World Series as a coach. He was a coach for the Washington Senators for many years.
