Description
A slide of a black-and-white aerial photograph of Al Brancato hitting into a double play at Yankee Stadium. The photograph is from the grandstand near the first base foul pole, looking back at home plate. The bunting on the facing of the third deck is because it is the New York Yankees' 1941 home opener. The Philadelphia Athletics players on the field include Brancato running to first base, Pete Suder running to second base, Dick Siebert running to home plate, Earle Mack coaching at first base, and an unknown man coaching at third base. Yankees players on the field include Red Ruffing on the pitcher's mound, Bill Dickey near home plate, Johnny Sturm at first base, Joe Gordon on second base, Phil Rizzuto at shortstop, and Red Rolfe at third base. Umpires include Red Ormsby at home plate, Cal Hubbard behind the pitcher's mound, and Eddie Rommel near third base.
