[Zack Wheat, Brooklyn NL (baseball)] (LOC)

  • Art Siegel said:
    LOC, note spelling of first name is either Zach or Zack on multiple Bain photos of him.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Art Siegel, Yes, I noticed the various spellings as well. His name was Zachariah, so the Zach makes sense, but it appears he actually went by Zack. I'm taking the spelling on his Baseball Hall of Fame plaque as reliable, as well as his entry on Baseball Reference. I will put in corrections to bring all the spellings in line as Zack. Thanks for your note.
  • Art Siegel said:
    BHOF plaque does seem like a definitive way to go. Plus, he clearly used Zack in autographs.

    The Morning Oregonian. (Portland, Ore), October 11, 1916 used this photo in its coverage of game 3 of the 1916 World Series, with this caption: "Jack Coombs, Who Signaled for Relief In the Seventh. " The accompanying coverage explains " When Larry Gardner drove one over the right field fence in the seventh. Coombs called his infield around him and, after a brief parley, waved Jeff Pfeffer in from centerfleld to finish the game. Coombs was game enough and wise enough to know when a younger arm was needed, and his judgment more than made good when Pfeffer retired the last eight men in order, stopping the revived Red Sox attack with an abrupt halt. " oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83025138/1916-10-11/ed-1/se... "John Wesley "Jack" Coombs (November 18, 1882 – April 15, 1957), nicknamed "Colby Jack" after his alma mater, was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played with the Philadelphia Athletics (1906–1914), Brooklyn Robins (1915–1918), and Detroit Tigers (1920). Coombs set a number of records in the American League and World League which stand to this day, and, when he won 31 games while losing nine in 1910, he became one of only 13 pitchers to win 30 games in a season since 1900." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Coombs
