Re: 18889 opening day photo
Some info on the players in the photo from John Thorn:
Pitcher is John Clarkson. King Kelly in right field. Dan Brouthers at first base. Man stealing second base may be Ed Delahanty, who did steal a base in this game. Sam Thompson in Phils' lineup but not in this image. These are my ID's from the box score, not in original captioning.

Thanks for the picture Jay, great image.
Looks like one ump and he is moving fast to get a good look at the play. I think I read that the AA experimented with two umps for a bit during 1889, but concluded that the benefit was not worth the expense. Umping was difficult then, though by 1889, I think the position was better established with less turnover. So, who is the ump?
I do not see right field, but I will take John's word for it that he's there. If Ed stealing, who is in the batter's box?
