This is a pretty cool piece. It's an original snapshot from the 1913 World Series Phil A's vs NY Giants, game one at the Polo Grounds on Oct,7,1913 .Photo size is 6.5 x 4.5 inches. The photo is NOT attached to a scrapbook and back is decent with glue spots.Condition is very good considering it's 100 years old. Two very gifted and loaded teams which include:
A's: Bender,Mack,Pennock,HR Baker,Collins,Plank
NYG: Thorpe, Marquard, Mathewson,McGraw,Robinson
Starting pitchers Bender W - Marquard L
I have spent some time on looking at who is who on the field.I believe it is possible to narrow down who is in the picture with process of elimination and using resources. Tough, but fun challenge!
The band is on the field! Sorry I couldn't resist.
Bain photo on the field. You can see Matty is wearing a jacket. He could be the player in the jacket holding the bat in front of the band in the snapshot for sale.

Bain's on field photo. Similar to the picture above! It's not 100%, but it's pretty close.
