Baseball play: Young slides home safe, catcher looks at umpire.
This page from the 1923 Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide captures a moment from a game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies. The photograph shows a significant play where a player named Young of the Giants is sliding safely into home plate. The Phillies' catcher, identified as Henline, is positioned to catch the ball and is seen observing the umpire, named McCormick, for the call on the play. This action captures the intensity and competitive nature of Major League Baseball during the early 1920s. The Giants and Phillies were both part of the National League, and moments like this were common as teams vied for dominance.
