Nice image of Boston’s Golden Outfield, Duffy Lewis, Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper (left to right). This image was taken in Chicago’s Comiskey Park which is recognizable in the background. This image was taken by The Chicago Tribune photo bureau.
We know it is from 1915 based on this 1915 newspaper.
Images of the Golden Outfield from their playing days together are rare and this is one of three different such images in the Collection.
These four glass plate negatives of “Doc” White were taken by Francis P. Burke in circa 1912. They were all featured in the book That Old Ball Game by David R. Phillips, who rediscovered the Burke negatives in the 1970s.
