1922 Giants vs. Reds: Youngs Forced, Kelly Safe at Second
The page from the 1923 Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide depicts a scene from a game between the New York Giants and the Cincinnati Reds. The photograph highlights a play involving several key players: Young of the Giants has been forced out at second base. Fonseca, likely playing second base for the Reds, is involved in the play, with an umpire overseeing the action. Kelly from the Giants is depicted as safe due to Daubert's error, as he could not secure the throw, allowing Kelly to remain on base. Daubert, representing the Reds, is positioned to make a play but ultimately fails to complete it. This moment emphasizes the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of baseball, highlighting both the athleticism required and the occasional errors that impact the outcome of a game.
