Two of the best-known players of the era appear together here: Ty Cobb, the fiery Detroit outfielder, and Christy Mathewson, the Giants pitcher admired for his control. The record places the pair in New York during the World Series, which in 1911 pitted the Giants against the Philadelphia Athletics. Bain News Service, a photo agency working in the city, made the glass negative, and its caption notes help researchers identify the men and date the scene.
