    Rube is holding an interesting glove, white in color.

    Baseball is the American game. One person showing another person a different pitch. The uniforms haven't changed much but look at that glove. There is no form to it at all. I sure hope there is more padding in it than it shows.

    Shadrach Christopoulos: thanks for the link to the wikipedia article on Rube Marquand. We will add the fuller form of his name to the description.

    The Washburn fellow in the Giants' uniform is a mystery. Our initial hunch was that he was former Giant outfielder-turned-pitcher LIbe Washburn on a return visit to the team. But Washburn could have been a non-baseball figure, such as someone from the theatrical world in which Mike Donlin had been employed. Washburn also appeared in photos ggbain.09449 and ggbain.09450 on the Library of Congress website. BH (SABR)

    Costello: Who gets the money... Abbott: He does, every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
