In 1914, John Evers' Boston Braves swept Eddie Plank's Philadelphia Athletics. In Game 2, Plank started and tossed a beauty but gave up a run in the 9th sending his team to a 1-0 defeat. Bill James tossed a two hit shutout at the Athletics in besting Plank. Evers was the league MVP that year and continued his hot hand in the series, batting .438. Sharp image (3-1/2 x 4-3/8”) of the two shaking hands before the start of a game at Philadelphia’s Shibe Park. Mounted on heavy paper, the Culver stamp is on the reverse. Photo may have been shot by Bain.
