This was in commemoration of Connie Mack's 50th anniversary as a manager, and took place on August 4, 1944. Here's a great article on the event.

Here's the paragraph from the article that lists the players as they came out of the dugout (it matches the order they're standing in, from right to left, in the photo (except for Simmons and Ruth): "Mack Names His All-Time Team As a culmination to the ceremony, Connie Mack named his all-time, all-star team of living players, each one exiting the dugout and lining up next to the microphone near home plate when introduced. As announced by Mack, they were: George Sisler, first base; Eddie Collins, second base; Frank “Home Run” Baker, third base; Honus Wagner, shortstop; Bill Dickey and Mickey Cochrane, catchers; “Lefty” Grove and Walter Johnson, pitchers; and finally, the outfielders, Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Al Simmons, and Babe Ruth. Two of the men selected by Mack were unable to appear at Shibe Park. Cochrane, as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy Reserve, was serving his country on active duty, and Cobb couldn’t attend for reasons unspecified." Steve
