Some of these hard-bitten guys in this 1907 team photo of the New York Highlanders (before they were called the Yankees) look like refugees from a chain-gang, including a young Branch Rickey, middle second row. Rickey, who refused to play on Sundays, only lasted one season with the team as a catcher before moving on to his illustrious front office career. Others in the photo include Wee Willie Keeler, Clark Griffith and Jack Chesbro, Hall of Famers all.

Wed. Feb. 27, 1907.

N.Y. Highlanders traded Joe Yeager to the St. Louis Browns, for Branch Rickey.

[Mattingly]

Thank you.
I must've forgotten to say "you're welcome". Anyway, thanks once again. :)

Jackie42:

A Yankee fan on another board asked me about this photo. He'd asked why was Ruth in a military outfit next to Gen Pershing of WWI fame. Was Ruth in the military? Not to our knowledge. Any details would be great.

Thanks.

In 1918 during World War I, Ruth, who was married by then, did not have to serve, but it was not unusual for him to help recruit for the Army, and aloud to wear a uniform.

[Mattingly]

Thanks, Jackie42! I'll pass this along. :)
