    Another Bain/LOC photo from this occasion: And another: Still another: And yet one more:
  • Wystan said:
    LOC -- The man on the left is not "Hog." In another photo, he is identified as "Capt. Hoge" -- although you have mis-titled that photo with the name "Hodge."
  • Arden said:
    Wystan--Thank you for giving us the correct spelling of "Hoge". We will update the descriptive information for these images.
  • Wystan said:
    He is Benjamin Franklin Hoge.

    Baseball Reference stats: www.baseball-reference.com/s/speaktr01.shtml This photo was taken in his only MVP season.

    Speaker was at one time considered one of the three greatest AL outfielders along with Cobb and Ruth. Kind of an odd pose....talk about pulling the ball. LOL

    That is cool thanks for sharing.
  • Denny Gill said:
    An interesting feature of men's wear from that era: a belt loop in-line with front zippers/button flys.
  • Defeated Yard said:

[Dode Paskert, Philadelphia NL, at Polo Grounds, NY (baseball)] (LOC)

    I see that the negative has the name "Cravath" on it, not Paskert. Unless this is another Bain error (not unthinkable), then this photo would depict Clifford Carlton "Gavvy" Cravath (1881-1963), a native of Escondido, California (some sources cite Poway, a nearby settlement), who played for the Phillies from 1912 through the end of his career in 1920. Previously he had played for the Red Sox, White Sox, and Senators, as well as playing semi-pro and minor league ball. Here's a biography of Gavvy Cravath from the Baseball Biography Project website. In case the Bain negative caption is wrong and this is actually Dode Paskert, here's some stuff about him, too: George Henry "Dode" Paskert (1881-1959) was a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He began playing in the minor leagues in 1904, and following three seasons in Dayton, Ohio, he played one season in Atlanta before starting his major league career with the Cincinnati Reds. He joined the Philadelphia Phillies in 1911, went to the Chicago Cubs in 1918, and returned to the Reds for his final season in 1921. The Baseball Biography Project has a fairly extensive biography of Dode Paskert.

    This photograph is flipped horizontally. The "NY" logo should be on McGraw's left sleeve.

    Good catch, tshieber. Now fixed. Thanks!
