Setting the Ground Rules

SETTING THE GROUND RULES | The World Series of 1908 hosted a Tigers-Cubs rematch and before the start of the game in Detroit, the opposing managers met with the umpires to discuss the ground rules. From left to right are Cubs' manager Frank Chance, NL umpire Bill Klem, AL umpire Tom Connolly, and Tigers' manager Hugh Jennings. The Tigers managed to win one game in five as both pitching and hitting disappeared. Klem and Connolly were the first umpires named to the Hall of Fame.
