Game action at League Park in Cleveland c. 1909 based on the uniforms. The opponent is the Detroit Tigers. Nap Lajoie, the Cleveland second baseman, is the player at right. The Tiger runner is unknown, but it is fun to think it could be Ty Cobb.
This image is from circa 1905 and was taken by noted photographer Louis Van Oeyen. We know it is no later than 1905 because it appeared in the 1906 Lajoie Guide issued before that season.
Cartoon postcard with what we believe is Mathewson’s head superimposed over the cartoon figure of a baseball player. In 1910 Mathewson had become one of the few player’s in baseball earning a salary of $10,000 a year.
