murphman61 says: Red Sox Left fielder, Duffy Lewis at the Polo Grounds. The famous incline rising up to Fenway's left field wall would be nicknamed "Duffy's Cliff" for Lewis.

murphman61 says: I do believe the photographer "misremembered" the play in the photo. I think this is the top of the 3rd inning in Game #4 at New York and Boston's Steve Yerkes has grounded back the pitcher, Jeff Tesreau, who then forced the runner (Red Sox pitcher, Joe Wood - in a sweater) out at third. Third baseman Buck Herzog is shown having thrown to first in an unsuccessful attempt to double up the speedy Yerkes, who can be seen racing down the line. The umpire can be seen calling Wood out at third.
