    I agree with the statement that it's a 1911 World Series uniform. The original negative dated this as 1912, but our recommendation changed the caption date to 1911. BH (SABR)

    Fred Merkle was famous for his "boner." Merkle's Boner was when he neglected to touch second base in the last game of 1908, and thus the Giants lost to the Cubs, had to play a playoff game and the Cubs won and then won the World Series....and THAT was the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Had it not been for Merkle's Boner, the Cubs would not have gone to the Series in 1908. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Merkle

    Merkle was playing in 1913. He played quite a few years in the majors. I was just talking about his boner in 1908.

    Chief Meyers was a very good catcher, one of the best of his time. He lived a long life, I think he was nearly 90 when he died.

    Person: James Otis Crandall (October 8, 1887 – August 17, 1951) was a right handed pitcher and second baseman. He was the first player to be consistently used as a relief pitcher. Consequently, he was given the nickname Doc by Damon Runyon who said Crandall was "the physician of the pitching emergency". He played from 1908 to 1918, first for the New York Giants, and then briefly for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1913 and than the Federal League with St. Louis from 1914 to 1916. Person: Frederick Carlisle Snodgrass (October 19, 1887 - April 5, 1974) was an American center fielder in Major League Baseball from 1908 to 1916 for the New York Giants and the Boston Braves. He played under manager John McGraw and with some of the early greats of baseball including Christy Mathewson. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Otis_Crandall en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Snodgrass
