    This photo appears to gave been taken about a month before George Sisler's major league debut with the St. Louis Browns, on June 28, 1915. Mr. Sisler set the Major League Baseball record for most hits in a season, 257, in 1920, a record that stood until 2004.

    Oct 4, 1913 Brooklyn Dodger Jake Daubert earns a new Chalmers auto as the first baseman won the Chalmers Award, a precursor to the National League MVP There have been three different "most valuable player" awards in baseball since 1911. The Chalmers Award was the first of those three and it was presented by between 1911 and 1914 by Chalmers Automotive — a Detroit based automobile company. www.baseball-almanac.com/awards/aw_chalm.shtml en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalmers_Automobile

    nudecowboy: Thanks for the additional information on this photograph. We'll add to the description when we update the record!

    Not sure where the Oct. 4 date came from in Kilted Cowboy's post, above. I didn't find it in the cites. Most likely this is Oct. 7, the first game of the World Series, judging from the crowds in the Polo Grounds. We know they aren't there just to see a Dodger! (see next picture of Mayor Kline).
