Pre-War Photo ID Help Needed
Hoping someone can help me out with these two.
First is a photo of George Moriarity being carried off the field after an injury. Can anyone identify the other Tigers players who are doing the carrying?? http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/y...psu6mtysub.jpg http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/y...pshk2mzqdt.jpg Here is another one. Back is written "filing in to the grand stand". Anyone know what park this would be for? http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps6vucsjl9.jpg Any help is appreciated. |
The fencing in the bottom photo looks like outside the Polo Grounds.
I had some 1912 World Series shots like that. Not sure, but worth looking at. |

It happened on August 8, 1911 in the 1st game of a doubleheader at New York.
|
That is pretty awesome!
|
Hard to tell and could be completely wrong but the guy towards the back does look like Cobb to me.
|
I agree with Jeff.
|
Looks like it could be pitcher Ed Siever (the guy who looks like Cobb ) and catcher Boss Schmidt to the right of the player wearing a sweater. The umpire may be holding some of Schmidt's catcher gear or possibly just his own gear.
|
Boss Schmidt would make sense. He played in the second game that day and was an absolute beast. I think that is the trainer and not an umpire (medical bag). I don't think it is Siever unless he was a coach after his playing career. His last major league game was in 1908 and this happened in 1911.

Harry Tuthill the Detroit Tiger trainer with the bag.
