[Jack Warhop, New York AL (baseball)] (LOC)

    a bit of a loose canon Warhop led the American League in hit batsmen in 1909 (26) and 1910 (18). He led the American League in home runs allowed in 1914 (8) and 1915 (7). His 114 career hit batsmen is a Yankees team record and ranks 37th on the MLB All-Time Hit Batsmen List. He also holds the Yankees single season record for most hit batsmen (26 in 1909). John Milton Warhop (Chief or Crab) Bats Right, Throws Right Weight 168 lb. Debut September 19, 1908 Final Game August 12, 1915 not sure why this photo was taken, but this poor fellow has the misfortune to be the first pitcher babe Ruth takes a home run from Thursday, May 6, 1915 -- Babe Ruth, the 20-year-old Boston southpaw, hit the first of his record total of 714 regular season major league home runs. Ruth's first home run came in the third inning off Jack Warhop, the starting Yankee right-hander. He was the first batter in the inning and he hit Warhop's first pitch into the second tier of the right-field grandstand. The ball, a prodigious wallop, landed in Seat 26 of Section 3.

[Buck Weaver, Chicago AL (baseball)] (LOC)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_Weaver Buck was one of the 'Eight Men Out', and according to the wikipedia article, in the movie of the same name, John Cusack played Buck. It has been argued that it should have been 'Seven Men Out' as Buck argued he was not in on the fix. He was never reinstated as the argument was that he could have known, should have known and should have told officials.

    This was taken during Clark's 1st season with the Cincinnati Reds. Note the last name etched is incorrect: Griffith is the correct name.
  • TommyTriple said:
    Clark Griffith won 20 or more games seven times and collected 237 wins while posting a 3.31 career earned average from 1891 through 1914. Clark only averaged 2.5 strikeouts per game but brilliantly changed speeds and had a great sinkerball. He was nicknamed "The Old Fox "

    Thanks! We'll add the location to the source data and reload the description.

    It is Hilltop Park, but Hilltop Park was home of the Highlanders (Yanks-AL). Cinci never played the Highlanders while Griffith was with them. Not sure if the Giants had to play a few games at Hilltop. Any ideas why he'd be there?
