This photo is no longer a mystery. This picture was taken in the top of the second inning in Game 1 of the 1940 World Series. Hank Greenberg singled off Red’s starting pitcher Paul Derringer and Rudy York followed with another single. Bruce Campbell followed with a sacrifice. In this photo, Pinky Higgins has just laced a two run single as Greenberg and York are scoring. The Reds’ pitcher is Paul Derringer. The Reds’ third baseman is Billy Werber and the shortstop is Billy Myers. The Reds’ left fielder is Jimmy Ripple. Derringer was knocked out of the game in this inning as the Tigers scored five runs on their way to a 7-2 victory. Bobo Newsom took the victory in Game 1 but his father died the following day as he had traveled from South Carolina to see his son pitch.
