Exceptional image of Kerr, thank you!
Here is an image of Earl McNeely who experienced his rookie year as a World Series champion with the 1924 Washington Senators. He was back-up centre-fielder to Nemo Leibold, with the other 2 outfielder positions manned by Hall Of Famers, Rice and Goslin. Appearing in 43 games he batted .330.
Elevated to the starting centre-fielder in 1925 he appeared in 122 games. Tris Speaker played centre-field for the Senators in 1927 and McNeely was a back-up outfielder to now 3 Hall Of Famers. He joined the Browns in 1928 and became their starting right-fielder, usually batting 7th. Spent 3 more seasons with the Browns all in a back-up role.
