This page from the 1923 Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide showcases a collection of players from the Brooklyn Nationals, a prominent team in Major League Baseball during the early 20th century. The featured athletes include Walter H. Ruether, Zack D. Wheat, Arthur Vance, Thomas H. Griffith, Raymond H. Schmandt, Otto Miller, Burleigh A. Grimes, James H. Johnston, Ivan M. Olson, and Harry H. Myers. These players were significant figures in baseball, contributing to the competitive spirit of the league during that era. Zack Wheat, in particular, was a key player known for his consistent hitting and later induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Burleigh Grimes stood out as one of the last pitchers permitted to throw a spitball, a pitch outlawed in 1920.
