If this photo was taken in 1911, it would have been during Alexander's rookie season. He won 28 games that year, a modern day rookie record. He pitched for the Philadelphia from 1911 to 1917, then was traded to the Cubs.

Alexander was one of the all-time greats and probably would have won 400 games if not for World War I. He missed most of the 1918 season and returned with a bad case of shell shock or post traumatic stress syndrome.

Rookie? He looks like he's in his mid-late 40's.

he is a little wrinkly, but he was in his mid to late 20's when he was a Phillie..

"A for Alex

More goose eggs he pitched
Than a popular gander."

by Brooklyn, are we referring to the Dodgers? before the Expos, Montreal was their AAA team Baseball always did well in the Great White North until Bush's friend, Bud Selig ruined everything in his wake in 1994 and beyond
