Chicago Tribune photo captioned "Hartnett, Grimm (left) and French follow Umpire Barr to the plate and continue to argue with his decision calling a St. Louis runner safe at third and filling the bases." We think the reporter may have gotten this caption wrong. Uniform numbers for 1936 confirm that Grimm and French are two of the people near the umpire, but the only Hartnett on the team- HOFer Gabby Hartnett - was catching that day. We find it unlikely that he took off his catching gear before joining the argument. Some wrinkles.
