    If this photo was taken in 1911, it would have been during Alexander's rookie season. He won 28 games that year, a modern day rookie record. He pitched for the Philadelphia from 1911 to 1917, then was traded to the Cubs.

    Alexander was one of the all-time greats and probably would have won 400 games if not for World War I. He missed most of the 1918 season and returned with a bad case of shell shock or post traumatic stress syndrome.

    Rookie? He looks like he's in his mid-late 40's.
  • Art Siegel said:
    he is a little wrinkly, but he was in his mid to late 20's when he was a Phillie..

    The great Alexander
    More goose eggs he pitched
    Than a popular gander."
