    Any reason LOC is not using the original caption where accurate? In this case, you are omitting key info.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    @artolog: The SABR project focused on naming players and teams, using a stock pattern to devise for titles that replaced the severely abbreviated words scratched on the negatives. The words on the negatives were retained in the notes area. In this case, though, you're right. This negative has a full-blown title that identifies the scene well. We'll exchange the titles and subject notes. -- Helena

    Not that it's probably needed, but: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoeless_Joe_Jackson 1919 was the season of the scandal.

    Picture is dated 10-1-17, when Sox were at the Polo Grounds to play Yankees. www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA191710010.shtml Sox Uniform matches 1917 road uniform. exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/unif... Striped road uniform not used in 1919. Comiskey had a concrete dugout, but with sharply sloped roof, unlike the Polo Grounds dugout. LOC: I think Pictorial History Committee should re-examine this and the surrounding photos, and check if this one should be redated to 1917.

    I took the caption's word for it, but this article backs up Art Siegel: haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=798
  • Greg said:
    Thanks Art Siegel! We've also consulted with the Society for American Baseball Research, so we can correct the date for this and about 20 other items. Well done!

    Interesting that Jackson is photographed wearing a catcher's mitt considering that Jackson played almost exclusively in the outfield throughout his Major League career (spare for the 30 games he played at First Base for the Cleveland Indians in 1915) . www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jacksjo01.shtml
