I don't doubt it shows Jimmie Foxx. The question I had was whether this could have come from Game 6, when he scored his only other run in a home game, also on a sac fly to right field. I am less familiar with the umpires' profiles, but figure it must be Moriarty because I read where Cy Rigler tipped the scales at 270 lbs., and the ump shown appears far less heavy than that.

(Sorry in advance. I didn't examine all that has been said so far.)
The umpire could tell us other things as well. Do we know how Foxx scored each time in home games during that World Series? And who was on base, if anyone? Although not scientific, the ump is clearly looking towards the area of center or right/center field, so he could be watching as the ball is coming in or he may be watching the progress of a runner (maybe quickly glancing to his right after ensuring the player touched home plate??). If Foxx scored on a sac fly to right (as stated) with no one on base (for example), this shot could point to that. But since the umpire is clearly not focused on watching the runner score, I would have to imagine there is at least one other player on base. If 'Foxx' scored on a hit, it could point to the ump watching the batter or another runner. Again, not scientific, but it certainly could be helpful in eliminating some possible scenarios.

I should have provided a little more proof or justification on why I believe this to be George Moriarty and not Cy Rigler. They were both about the same age. As was pointed out, Cy was a bit on the heavy side. Almost all photos of him in this time show him will a definite double chin (no hate mail please) as seen in the left photo. The photo on the right is obviously a younger George, but look at how deep the eyes look, similar to that in the center photo.
But what I think did it for me are the ears. Cy's go high and almost curve forward. George's look to be a dead match, at least to me. I am shocked by how little video there is out there on this series. So many of the greats, other than Foxx there were 9 other HOFers: Mickey Cochrane, Lefty Grove, Al Simmons, Jim Bottomley, Dizzy Dean, Frankie Frisch, Burleigh Grimes, Chick Hafey & Jesse Haines. Does anyone know of anywhere other than the few minutes on youtube, mainly game 4. |
