    Looks like he was working in the off season. I wonder what his job was?

    Back in the days, most ALL ballplayers worked between seasons...back when sports were sports, not businesses.

    He looks more like a foot ball player than baseball

    That's a railroad baggage wagon for passenger trains. My job during the mid-sixties was baggage man / mail handler for the IC and the wagons were the same then too.

    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..
