Perhaps the most interesting picture to me is the one on the bottom left. If you notice, both the batter and catcher are NY Giants. It must have been taken during batting practice.

Also, in the fourth picture down on the left (the one taken from behind third base, showing the pitcher in his follow-through), I'm guessing that the pitcher is Mathewson. This is based on the fact that one of the pictures shows Speaker apparently being awarded a car. This would have occured after the final game, which the Red Sox won. If this is the case, and then supposing that all the pictures were taken at the same game, the Giants pitcher had to have been Mathewson, since he pitched the complete game.
