Thank you Dan !!
I'm glad to hear the photo now resides with Keith. It is in fact because of Keith that I thought they never played side by side. Keith once thought that Sam, who remained playing baseball later in life with the DAC (Detroit Athletic Club), was only called up when Detroit was short on outfielders. So this clarification is greatly appreciated. I wasn't certain about this fact and that is why I prefaced my statement with "I believe". When I pour over old newspapers, I rarely make it to the 20th century.
Thanks! I'd really like to find a scorecard from one of those games, that would be a neat piece for a Detroit collector.
