  • Art Siegel said:
    Lobert and Schultz were the 1915 third basemen for the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers (officially, the Robins), respectively. This was probably taken on opening day at the Polo Grounds, which in 1915 was April 15th. www.baseball-almanac.com/teamstats/schedule.php?y=1915&am...

    A bit of trivia based on this picture: Joe Schultz's son, Joe Schultz Jr., grew up also to be a major league ballplayer, and went on to immortality as the Seattle Pilots' manager in Jim Bouton's Ball Four.

    It's a shame that CHS doesn't seem to be uploading pictures to this stream any longer. Some of us would greatly appreciate it!!
