[Managers Bobby Wallace, St. Louis AL & Hal Chase, New York AL (baseball)] (LOC)

    Hal Chase seems to be the only person involved in baseball in the early part of the 20th Century who wasn't butt ugly.
  • clarewhite20 said:
    I believe that this is Hal Chase when he was with the New York Highlanders who later became known as the Yankees. Chase later played for the NY Giants, which could lead to confusion. As for Wallace, he is representing the team known as the St. Louis Browns who later moved to Baltimore to become the Orioles.
  • aware health said:
    According to Jimmy Austin in The Glory of Their Times, Chase was a real jerk, and was made manager this year after he complained to the owners and ran off the previous one. (That might explain the friendly look on Wallace's face.) Said Austin: "Well, you know how good a manager Hal Chase was: so good that he took over a club that finished second in 1910 and took them straight to sixth place in 1911. And the year after that they wound up last."

    @Mark in Nova Beg to differ. This fellow looks like a movie star. www.photistoric.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/13527u_Pho...

    The Browns played in St. Louis through the 1953 season, moving to Baltimore in 1954. . .The Browns won their only AL pennant in 1944 when they played in the last World Series in which ALL of the games were played in the same ballpark. The Cardinals and Browns shared Sportsmans Park in St. Louis. The Cardinals won the NL pennant in 1944 and beat the Browns in 6 games in the '44 World Series.

    from Wikipedia (re American League teams): "The Milwaukee Brewers, as they were originally known, moved to St. Louis in 1902 and became the St. Louis Browns. After spending 52 years in St. Louis, the Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954 and adopted the Orioles name, which had been used by previous Baltimore baseball clubs." source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore_Orioles

    These guys fascinate me. In the UK, things like football clubs are eternal... yet this guy played for Kansas City Packers, who came and went in the space of a couple of seasons...

    This looks like a baseball card in the making! I like it because it seems to compare the player's size to that of the vast baseball field around him. Very neat indeed.
