    I like his mismatched socks.

    Pixel Wrangler: Thank you for the fuller name of this player and the location and date of the game. We will add more details to the image description when we update.

    Game 4 was played Oct. 11th, Game 5 was played the 12th at Fenway. I believe this photo was taken on the Oct. 11th. www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/yr1912ws.shtml
  • Arden said:
    PeaceLoveScoobie: The source you cited shows that game 4 of the 1912 World Series was played on Oct. 11. We will change the description to add this date. Thank you!
  • Alan Levine said:
    Wikipedia article on series has info as well en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_World_Series For some reason they refer to Polo Grounds as "Brush Stadium", but the article for the stadium says Brush as not used after 1910. FWIW the Internet archive has audio of radio play by play for all series games 1934 onward archive.org/details/classicmlbbaseballradio

    I'm pretty sure Mr. Unidentified is Hub Perdue. Compare:
  • Art Siegel said:
    The negative caption indicates that Art Fletcher was a New York player, but the Flickr caption says the players are from the Cardinals. Fletcher's bio: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_Fletcher confirms that he was a Giants player.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    artolog: Good catch! Art Fletcher was definitely a New York Giant, so we'll make sure the caption is corrected to reflect that. rjones0856: I do think Hub Perdue has some resemblance to the unidentified player, but I don't think it's a match. Here are other images of Perdue from our holdings. His ears stick out quite a bit, and the unidentified player does not share that characteristic. Your suggestion made me curious if I could find a match for the unidentified player, however. I reviewed the roster of the St. Louis Cardinals for 1914, since we can see that from his uniform that he's a Cardinal, and checked for portraits of players in our collections. Working my way through the roster, I found photographs of nearly every player and I think I found a match for the unidentified player in outfielder Lee Magee. This photograph of Magee as well as these others show a lot of good matching facial characteristics. Thanks to all for the close looking, as always!
  • Art Siegel said:
    Yeah, that really looks like Magee.
  • aware health said:
    I'll buy that. I was going by his unibrow and spade-shaped nose, but when I looked at the full size those aren't as impressive in this photo as I thought.
