    baseball-reference.com describes Eddie Grant as the only MLB player killed in action during World War I. He apparently played in 1905, 1907-1915. Source: www.baseball-reference.com/g/granted01.shtml

    Edward Leslie Grant (May 21, 1883, Franklin, Massachusetts - October 5, 1918, Argonne Forest, France), was an American third baseman in Major League Baseball who became one of the few major leaguers who were killed in World War I. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Grant_(baseball)

  • David Gallagher said:
    great attendance at that game
  • VPaterno19 said:
    This must have been taken early in the 1913 season, because Grant was traded to the Giants later that season. In fact, a memorial plaque for Grant was erected at the Polo Grounds and remained there until the ballpark was razed. And regarding the attendance comment -- that was taken during warmups, for one thing, and for another attendance figures were much smaller then (no night baseball, or Sunday ball in some areas). I don't believe a team drew a million until after World War I.
