    Eppa Rixey (1891-1963): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eppa_Rixey Odd name, but it was his father's name--and his son was Eppa Rixey III. So I guess he liked it well enough.

    Trying to figure out who #4 is. If he's with Brooklyn it's Duke Snider, if he's with St. Louis, it's Marty Marion (the fellow on the left seems to have St. Louis on his jersey).

    Ed was one of the 8 White Sox involved in throwing the 1919 World Series vs Cincy. This was known as the Black Sox Scandal. BTW, the name is pronounced "Suh kah' dee" accent on second syllable. I knew a relative of his, but he pronounce it "See' Kaht" accent on first syllable. He told me that some people with the name pronounce it "See' Koat". Cicotte was a very good pitcher.

    I'm loving the old-timey baseball pictures. Thanks so much for sharing these, LoC!

    Nelson Algren's essay, "Ballet for Opening Day" from The Last Carousel gives some excellent commentary on the Black Sox.
  • In Memoriam: budderflyman said:
    I never read that, but thanks, Elliot. I have read "Eight Men Out" and seen the movie. Algren was one of the greatest Chicago writers, but after "The Man with the Golden Arm," what happened to him? Studs Terkel always spoke highly of him.
