The title points to Eddie Plank, the Philadelphia Athletics left-hander, captured at Shibe Park during the 1914 World Series, which opened in Philadelphia on October 10. The record's title comes from data the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or caption cards, so the identification is not fully verified. Bain, a New York photo agency, sold news pictures to newspapers and magazines, and its glass-plate work captures the sporting and public life of the 1910s. The Braves' sweep of the Athletics that October was one of the period's major upsets, and portraits like this one show the star pitchers at the center of it.
