I found this shot of a late 20's (?) Giants jersey on the web. I believe it's from John McGraw's Hall of Fame exhibit at Cooperstown.

It's hard to believe it would have been actually worn by McGraw, but it's a stunning jersey.

Is there any information on where the seat was located? I ask since at one point I did some work for a guy in LA named Don Cooke, who owned KRLA radio. His brother, Jack Kent Cooke (of Redskins fame), had season tickets in Yankee Stadium, three rows behind the Yankee dugout, right next to the seat of Mrs Lou Gehrig. I would assume Mrs. McGraw had a similar prime location.
