    Giants lost that game 8-2, which might explain why the A's are sprinting for the gate.

    thanks for the identification of these men. We may update the record to include their names.

    4th from left is John Joseph (Rip) Egan. Additional information on his life can be found in "More than Merkle" and "You Can't Beat the Hours" by David W Anderson. as well as from a scrapbook in Google Docs and documented in Wikipedia.

    Thanks Wystan for linking the other photos of Eddie Plank, and catching the actual date. We'll make the change next time we update the record.

    Plank only pitched Oct. 8 and Oct. 11 during the 1913 World Series. It couldn't have been taken on Oct. 13, as the World Series finished up on Oct. 11. Also, the poles in the grandstands appear to be Shibe Park, which would make this from game two of the World Series on Oct. 8, 1913. Plank appears to be warming up for that game, which Philadelphia lost, 3-0, in 10 innings. Christy Mathewson was the winning pitcher.
