Not a Red Sox collector, but recently picked up this photo of their manager, Bill Carrigan, taken in June of 1928 - not the greatest time to be a Boston fan.
From the time Babe Ruth left, the Red Sox didn't finish .500 again until 1935, so Carrigan had very little to do with it - they were actually worse both before he began managing them, AND got even worse after he left. He was a player-manager for them during three of their best years, just prior to the fall: 1914-1916 and Babe Ruth called him the best manager he ever played for.
