Bought this awhile ago and it was stated in the auction that it was taken in the early 1920's during the world series. Stamp on the back is a 1920's stamp but no specific date. Any help would be great

Love that photo! I would say 1922 Brooklyn Robins vs. New York Giants. Wilbert Robinson on the left, John McGraw on the right. Not World Series (both NL teams) but a very nice photo nonetheless.

I agree with 1922. Uniforms match that year

Wilbert Robinson


John McGraw


Both had been managers in the 1920s, both for national league teams, so most likley not WS, Robinson never made it to the WS as manager - they both appear older, so maybe early 1920s, but you may need to research a bit more for exact date

Wilbert Robinson vs John McGraw
1914-1931

The Dodgers-Giants rivalry transformed into something more when Wilbert Robinson became Manager of the Dodgers. Robinson (Dodgers Manager 1914-31, when they were known as the Robins, after their skipper) and John McGraw (Giants Manager 1902-32) constantly feuded in the media. Prior to becoming Brooklyn Manager, "Uncle Robbie" had been a Giants coach but was fired by "Little Napoleon" after a heated argument over missed signs, ending a 22-year friendship that included 12 seasons as teammates and dual partnership in a cafe in Baltimore. One example of their bitterness came in 1916 when McGraw left mid-game during a Robins victory on October 3rd that clinched the pennant. McGraw said his players were laying down for Brooklyn while Robinson thought McGraw was jealous of his success. Robinson said that by leaving early, "He pissed on my pennant." Over these 18 seasons, McGraw's Giants held a slight edge, winning 197 games to the Dodgers' 190.
